How to stop my adult dog from biting and harassing our puppy?

Question

I know that there are no follow ups, but the puppy has been here for months. My adult dog and the puppy played and knew the rules after the 2nd-3rdish month. Now, the puppy hides from the adult dog because whenever they are together, the adult dog tries to bite the puppy's neck. She only targets this exact puppy. I don't think this 'common' behavior, as our adult dog stalks the puppy, harasses it, and etc. This led to our puppy hiding. I don't think this is OK. What do I do to get harmony again?
