Saddleback and CUC aggression

[kory1006]

I have a pair of saddlebacks that continually pick on any sort of snail or hermit I put in the tank. All I have been able to keep is one lonely turbo snail, which I think it due to his size. Any hermits and snails, especially smalls ones, either get picked up and moved around, or just nipped at by the clowns.

Is this normal behaivor for them, or is there anything I can do to stop this? Thanks!

That is a lot better than get pick up and feed to the anemones. They just defend their territory. Saddlebacks are large and aggressive fish.

I agree with Minh,my female clown pulled a yellow tail damsel into the mag that kept getting to close .
