i have 2 young maroons that i got about 2 months ago i just placed them in the 55 and now they hate each other even more they never liked one another but now it is like the smaller of the 2 is being bullies almost to death should i put him back in the fuge for a little while? or is this normal/ but when i turn the lights off they automatically go right up to each other and that is where they sleep
 
Put the agressive one in the fuge, not the bullied one. They are in the throes of figuring out which will be the female and which will be the male. It's vicious and it can last for a while. Don't leave her in the fuge indefinitely tho. They have to fight it out. If she kills him, then its not a him, its a she and you've got two she's and that will not be tolerated. Make sure the little one has places to hide from the bigger one.
ps - Maroons are the most brutal of the clownfishes and they don't always pair up easily either.
