aggresive clownfish question

[fast97cobra]

In my 90 gallon reef I had 2 orange skunk clown (very small) and I recently purchased a Long tentacle anemone and a Large wild percula that were quite fond of one another. The skunks threw out the perc and attack him any time he gets close. Put a second anemone in the tank and the skunk clown each inhabit one now. Because of this aggressive behavior the percula won't eat and I am getting a little worried about him. Any ideas? I was thinking of putting another anemone but I'm affraid they will just defend all of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

..You should NEVER mix clowns. Did you do ANY research at all?

I would suggest giving the sets their own seperate tank. I don't believe adding or removing anemones will change behaviors

Get that perc out before its killed or it jumps!!!

Next time, count to ten, take a deep breath, and reply with something helpful.

Cobra- How's the perc? Did you get it out? Don't let people like ClownReef discourage you from writing in for help. MOST people will try to help w/o criticism.

Dick? What an ingenious play on my name. Are you majoring in literature? Maybe rocket science? You’re obviously quite the clever fellow. Grow up.

Yes, of course you should do endless research and get advice from experienced reefers. However, I feel that some noobies will shy away from the later if they come across people like you. I prove my point with the simple fact that the original poster has not given a response.
I'm sick and tired of people on these forums that feel the need to belittle others in some pathetic attempt to make them feel better about themselves.

*AHEM!!!*

Let's not start the name calling here!



While it's a great idea to do a little research, unfortunately many of us have those newbie mistakes.

Well said Nick.

My 2 cents...

I was in a similar situation. 80g, with a pair of tomato clowns and one false percula.

I had up to 5 anemones at the time. You'd think the tomato clowns would occupy one, maybe two of them and leave one for the percula. But no, they ended up defending all of them.

I found the percula on the floor one day. Having learned my lesson, I have not purchased any more clownfish.

I agree with the earlier postings. Either set up another tank or give the odd clown away. Small chance they'll actually get along in the long run.
