Black clown hosted frogspawn and aqressive toward mate.

[DustinLSX]

I have 2 black clowns that have been togather in my tank for just over a week. They paired right away with no problems at all. About 2 days after I put them in the tank they started trying to host everything from rocks to a candy cane. The smaller of the 2 finally settled in my frogspawn. This was fantastic until I saw him being agressive toward the larger clown when he got close to the coral. Now the smaller one stays in the coral for the entire day coming out only to eat.

How can I get my pair back on speaking terms?

Is the larger one aggresive at all?

It somewhat turns around on the small clown after the smaller one becomes agressive. The small one is for sure the agressor and the larger acts as if its just reacting.

The smaller clown has started to come out of the frogspawn more frequently this afternoon into tonight and they are pals again when its out of the coral.

Hmmm.. when the host inside the frogspwan does it close up? I would assume it isn't fully open it? Do tell! Pics!

FS stays fully opened up. The only time I see it closed is when I wake up in the morning, and even then the clown is still in it.

I will get some pics when I get home. I'm not good at all with taking pics in the tank.

I'm not very good with tank pics and once the little fella is in all the way its almost impossible to see him.

It's in there I promise. Look VERY close and you can see a little black.

Here is a night shot with the lights off and flash on.
