Im sorry I do not intend to offend but this post makes little sense to me. I would have to assume you are not native to the english language. Try rewording the post or asking in your native language so that someone can better understand you

You most likely need to remove your fire clown and keep picasso pair. Your anemone is ok.

from what I understand the OP has a pair of picasso clowns with a fire clown in the same tank. Now the clowns are fighting over an anemone.

Now the clowns are fighting over an anemone.

Of course they do.

From the description I gather that the other clown is an A. ephippium (A. frenatus would also be possible). Both ate very aggressive clowns and BTAs are their preferred anemones.

There are several options:

Add another anemone that is not one the fire clown pairs with in nature but that is preferred by A. percula (Picassos are percula, right?). That would be either a ritteri anemone (Heteractis magnifica) or a gigantea (Stichodactyla gigantea). Both require the highest level of care and often cipro treatment so they may not be the best choice for someone with limited experience. S. haddoni may be a decent substitute but it isn't really easy either.

The better option would be to go without anemones and use ceramic flowerpots instead. This would be the best option if breeding was the reason to add it in the first place.

Though I would strongly recommend to remove the fire clown and give him his own tank (I would add another to have a pair of them too).

thanks for recommendation. I spoke with some aquarium saler and all of them told that fire clown will owne new anemone and fire clown must remove from tank.
but i bought one seaba anemone and carry it in tank. fire clown pair with it and defeat picasos. a few houres later i carry bubble anemone in other side of tank.
picassos paired with it while fire clown was loving with its seaba anemone! now two days every things is ok about clownes but my bubble seems not in good condition. ammonia and nitrit is near zero but nitrat is 30. picassoes bihavioure show bubble qnemone is not like at two days ago and anemone is loose and unhealthy

FWIW I have kept groups of clowns that got along fine .... until I added a host anemone and then all hell broke loose.
