Hi

I have 20 gallon tank and two clowns bbt anemone and a cleaner shrimp. I introduce the two clowns at the same time one big clown is so much bullyng the smaller clown now 41 days. I bought a cleaner shrimp last week and this big clown try to attack the cleaner shrimo too i re arranged the coral and the setup stil no use am thinking to take out the bully clown out and re introduce after one day any sugestion please
 
Do you know what kind of clown fishes you have? This system would be too small for some of the more aggressive clowns.

Other thoughts: I had a friend with a similar problem, which resulted with the larger clown killing the smaller one. You may consider taking the larger clown out and trying to return it to a local reef shop. I've always had good luck getting two small individuals and letting one grow larger and become dominant.

The only other thing you could try is to make a wall in the center of rock work to try and separate the line of sight. Unfortunately, that's hard in a 20 gallon.

i have used one of these for a day or two. shares same tank water but allows fish to see each other and get used to each other sharing tank.

worth a shot

Are they reddish or decidedly yellow? Do they have stripes on the body or just on the head. How many stripes on the body?
