Extreme Clown Aggression

What is the best way to deal with extreme clown aggression? I have a new pair of clowns (maybe 2 weeks in the display tank) that do not seem to get along at all. The more aggressive clown constantly chases the other making sure he does not leave the upper corner of the tank. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable bites but I'm still worried about the nature of the chasing as it seems to be more than just establishing dominance
 
If they are roughly the same size then the more dominant one probably won't accept the other no matter what. Even if one is female and one is male, if the male is within about 20% of the size of the female it will be rejected, and maybe even killed. Only solutions are rehouse one or put both in a bigger tank so each has its space.
