If you are sure that he is healthy and you can catch her out of your display, you might consider putting her in the QT with him.
IME, clowns under a little stress in a different environment tend to come together for safety/comfort, rather than beat each other up as sometimes happens when you put a new clown in with one that is already established.
If you are going to put him in the display you might want to float him in a clear container until you see how she reacts.

she nipped his fins pretty good.... now he hangs in the back of the tank.

I dunno.......thoughts?

just an update.... the new allardi seems to have been accepted by my female. At least she isn't still kickin his a$$ I did decide to remove my large hippo tang cause I believe he was to territorial and caused my little allardi to stay to the rear of the tank. Now that the hippo is gone he swimms all over and hangs with the lager allardi. :dance:
