most purple tangs are relentless with their bullying and will continue until the other fish is dead. I have had success with introducing a massive tang (like a 7" sailfin) that put the purple tang in place in terms of "whos the boss". But when the purple is at the top of the hierachy, i think you will continue to have problems with bullying.
A trick you may try to employ is the mirror trick. Get a mirror and put it on the outside of the tank on one end. The purple will be furious at his own reflection and leave the others alone.
