Clarkii is a jerk!!

[GigaFish]

I have a clarkii clown in my 54 corner with 3 chromis, 1 damsel, and a sixline. He doesnt seem to care about the sixline but he is constantly harrasing the other fish. I was wondering if this is natural, or is he causing stress to the other fish? He is hosted with a condylactis anemone (I know its bad but nobody will take it off my hands) My anemone has eaten one damsel and one chromis and I have a feeling that my clarkii had something to do with chasing them in there. So what do you guys think?

It's possible. Ive seen my female clarkii chase many fish from the haddoni carpet. Has bitten me a fair share of times as well. Dont have any experience with condy's tho, so i cant comment on that.

the situation wont improve if there are any damsels in there, clarks are mean, real mean and wont let up on their relatives.

I love clowns and would try to get rid of the damsels, by the sounds of it introducing a smaller clarks may be difficult but a pair of clarks would be good.

My clarks hated damsels, cardinalfish, Butterfly fish(anemone predators), but did not mine hawkfish, mandarins and pygmyangels

good luck.

Yeah she has bitten me too. I was shocked. She also took a bite mark out of my marine bettas tail when they shared a tank.That's why I moved her.
