My large female maroon is chaising my new Flame Hawkfish (added today), she seems really annoyed at this new addition. Will she calm down? Anyone with experience on maroons fighting and things calimg down after a while? Will she get used to the Flame? So far she is fine with a Coral Beauty and Chromis. Do you think she will stress and kill the flamehawk overnight?
 
Update... Well I really did not wantto lose my new Flame, so I took out my live rock and re-positioned the carpet anemone in hopes the Maroons (mom and dad) woul "reboot" on the defense of the country defcon 7 syndrome. So far so good, the maroons are docile for the time being. Looks like between the anemone move and the rocks repositioned, the maroons are on pause.
 
Im guessing you hgad some issues because the flame is a similer color and similar shape. I wish you luck. hope it works out.

Let me know. I want a flame pretty bad. but ive been holding off because oof the shape/color
 
It's funny you posted this. I've had a maroon clown that has been pretty docile towards everything I've ever put in the tank. I just purchased a fire clown in the hopes he would host in my Haddoni. Well the maroon clown went Banannas when I added the Flame, and I really thought the new addition would be a goner.

Fortunately, even though he was VERY stressed, and VERY beat up, he immediately took to the Haddoni.

Gee I wonder why the maroon now steers very clear of him...:)
