What has usually worked for me is placing any fish about to be introduced in an isolation chamber for 3-5 days before releasing. I built mine out of white flourescent lighting grating material from HomeDepot and it measures 8" wide x 8" long x 12" deep. You cut the rectangular and square pieces out, line them up & zap strap them together. I suspend it in my tank (100g plexi mostly fish with some soft corals). The new fish gets acclimatized to the community tank with good flow, but it is protected from attacks by your established fish. Gives them a fighting chance since the other fish will be more likely to lose interest and accept them with only minor squabbles when you do release them into the general population.

Just my two cents worth. This idea was introduced to me by some other marine fanatics.
