New Clownfish Introduction Behavior Question

[JMcAz7]

So last week I added a Percula to my 24G nano that already had an Ocellaris in it. The ocellaris has been extremely agressive towards it, and I was getting ready to move the perc into another tank.

A few weeks ago, I added a Sebae anemone, and the ocellaris wanted nothing to do with it. I woke up this morning and the Perc has taken home in the Sebae but the Ocellaris is MIA. I doubt it's in the Nem, as it's not really swollen up at the moment. Is it out of the ordinary to assume the Ocellaris is hiding/pouting?

Is it out of the ordinary to assume the Ocellaris is hiding/pouting?

No but I'd be more prone to look around on the floor for fish jerkey or in the overflow or sump.

Yeah, no longer an issue.

Looks like the Percula killed the Ocellaris while I was at work. :-( My girlfriend found a half-eaten ocellaris hanging out of the sebae's mouth.

It surpises me the Perc came out ahead. He was getting beat up pretty badly for 4 days, and was a clear 1" SMALLER than the oc.

I'd more suspect the sebae or a disease than a smaller perc. Smaller clowns don't generally win... unless you're talking an ocellaris and a smaller clarkii.
