Tips because A. melanopus is damaging corals?

I' ve got a pair of Amphiprion melanopus for 16 years in a 400 l (100 g) tank at work.
The female really dislikes corals... and even live rock.
She completely trashed a few gorgonians, a Heliopora, Lobophyton, Zoanthus and some Sinularia. She even pushes rocks that are 'not the way she likes it' out of the way. A Heliopora coerulea is a rather sturdy coral, but she snapped of complete branches. Coral and rock that are even 1 m away from their spot (the left side of the tank) get a brutal treatment.

What can be done to prevent this?
