Adding Royal Gramma with established Tomato Clown?

[m3t411ic4]

I've had my Tomato Clown for over 12 years in my 33-gallon mixed reef and recently added a Molly Miller Blenny which seems to be doing quite well. They really don't even acknowledge one another. I've always wanted a Royal Gramma but have never owned one. Would it be a bad idea to add one with the established clown?

If the clown ignored the blenny you should be able to add the royal gramma with out the clown attacking it.

The Molly Miller is possibly being ignored by your Tomato Clown because Molly Millers don't swim on the water column often. Royal Grammas swim out in the open and might be attacked by your Tomato Clown.

That's what I'm afraid of. Worth the risk or not? Anyone else successful adding a Royal Gramma in a small tank with an established Clown?

I wouldn't do it in a tank that size. Your established clownfish likely considers the entire tank volume as its territory, and would perceive the gramma as an intruder. Not worth the risk IMO.

So i have a 110 gallon with 2 tomatoe clowns been in it for maybe 2 months a little more . They were my first two fish in the tank. Two days ago i added a royal gramma and first day i didnt see him was hiding in the rocks but now today he wants to come out but the bigger clown chases him back in to his cave . See how it goes in a couple more days
