Introduced a new Clarkii today...

[ChunksInClemson]

I just added a new Clarkii today...In my tank, I have a yellow tang, and a pair of ocellaris clowns. The female oc has nipped a couple times but nothing serious. The tang is the one I am worried about. This guy is a serious pain in the ole a. He already stressed my Powder Blue tang to its death. Its like I can't add anything new b/c he just thinks he's the freakin man and runs the tank. I guess he does! Anyways, my Clarkii was hiding out in the long tentacle plate coral for a while but he hasnt been the past couple of hours. I have a BTA in the tank for either the pair or the Clarkii but am hoping one of them will notice it soon! I guess I really know the answer to my question but I just wanted to tell everyone about my problems ha. I know its hit or miss with either of the clowns hosting the BTA but have any of you had the problems with the tang thing?

Thanks,
Chris

ok, well since you all really care, I thought I would give an update.....My Clarkii has found his BTA and he looks awesome in it. Now when the tang comes by the anemone, the clarkii lets him know thats his territory!

Thats cool. I'll prolly be looking for a smaller one b/c this one will be alone for a while so it's gonna be my female. I need a male so I will be on the lookout. Did you introduce all of them at once?

Its going to be tricky to have two different species of clowns in a 90 gallon.
