False Perc Pair, Female attacking Male

[chkit]

I've had this pair for over a year, today I noticed the female attacking the male and will not let him come near the anemone. They are in a 24g aquapod. I can actually see the marks on the male where the female bit him. Any ideas why? I also had a yellow watchman goby in with them for like a year. About 3 weeks ago I added court jester goby and a small pygmy angel fish.
Thanks

My female harrased the male for a few months before she started tolerating him. If you notice carefully, she is less agressive at nights and more agressive during the day...as time goes by she will stop or reduce her agressive moves. My female sleeps in the Nem where as the dude still sleeps in the mushroom few inches away from her. I personally feel that 4 fish is a little too much for a 24 ga tank. But its a personal choice. Good luck. Just be patient.

I've had this pair for over a year. They were getting along fine and swam together in the anemone till now. Just wondering why the sudden change.
