Kicked out of the nem :(

[Depths_of_blue]

I bought two clarkii clowns a few months ago, not a 'pair' as such but one is about half the size of the other. When I first introduced them to the DT the smaller one immediately jumped in my BTA while the bigger one wandered around. About an hour later (yes I sit and watch my fish lol) she had kicked the smaller clown out and now aggressively chases him away whenever he comes near. Is there any hope for the future that she will let him back in? Do I need to get another nem for him? He hasn't taken to any of the other corals and just persistently tries to sneak back in to the BTA...

She may never let him back! You could try and wait it out but adding another anemone will at least give the male (if he is male) someplace to go.

I do have a hammer, bubble and torch but he doesn't seem interested in them, poor guy I feel sorry for him lol

Such is life with paired clowns. Males take up a submissive role to the dominant females. I often feel sorry for some of the males I keep, but when it comes to fertilizing eggs, they rule the roost (For about an hour), just like the rest of us guys!

:lol:
