Clownfish options

[Bret61081]

Ive had a pair of GSM clowns for over a year now and they have been breeding about once a month for the past 6 months. Recently I upgraded to a larger tank and I added a deeper sand bed. Now my GSM clowns are making a HUGE mess and are becoming more aggresive since my anemone moved to the middle of the tank. I love the look of them but they are killing some of my corals by moving all the sand around. I was considering a different type of clown fish so they dont make suck a mess! I was wondering if Pink Skunk or Perculas do the same when nesting. Any other options on different clowns that wont stir up the sand as much. Thanks

As far as I know, all clownfish will dig in the sand. Others tend to do it not as much though.

they will calm down after a while, they do that to make more room for the anonme.

Your solution seems rather callous

Besides the mess they make I would like something that wont nip my fingers everytime I stick my hand in the tank! The digging of the sand never stopped even when they were in the old tank. The female still stirs tje sand when shes not even near the anemone! I just want something thats less aggressive and not as messy! I know they will go to a good home...a local breeder is interested in them. I just want a less aggressive option as a replacement!
