Maroon Clownfish Aggressive behavior

[AngGenova23]

Has anyone had their maroon be way to rough with anemones...Ive had 3 so far and none really last more than a month and The first two I thought it may be health reasons....But im concluding that my maroon is just way to rough with them and they cant get away from him...

He obsesses over it and gets really territorial and has ripped up my groupers tail and bites at my purple tang....Also im trying to get him out of the tank and get some true percs or something less aggressive so that I cant actually keep and anemone....What is the best way to catch him I feel like ive tried everything.

Anemones are fragile. I am not sure, but, more than halve of wild anemones don't survive in captivity. It may not be the clown that's the problem. Try captive speciemen. Good luck.

Clownfish do not need anemones to live in captivity. While it is nice to see the relationship of the two, it is not vital to the health of your clownfish.
Maroons are at the top of the list when it comes to aggressive behavior.
