Any trick to keep clowns from digging?

[schudini]

I have a pair of wild perc's (for about a year) and it's getting out of hand. They dig in both front corners of the tank and cover everything in the bottom half with sand. I don't think they are ready to spawn.

It's really annoying.

My tank is too small for a nem. And they don't show any interest in the multihead hammer coral that is in there.

I have heard putting a tile down in the sand will help. They will want to sweep the tile clean then they seem pleased.

My GSM reaquascapes my sandbed regularly

For sure they'll stop digging.

cut off its fins.

put some rock/ rock rubble that is too big for them to physically move in the digging sites. This stopped my sandstorms.
