What are the chances of this working out

[agreeive?fish]

I have a ~4 inch gold striped maroon clownfish in a 210g...i aquired what looks like a black/white clown fish ~3 inch who appears to still have the juvi brown coloration instead of black..now for the 1st 2 days in the tank the maroon ignored the new clown..the maroon would ocassionally swim from the far end of the tank (his/her territory) to the other end of the tank (b/w territory) and spend about 1 second looking at the b/w and that would be it..for the last day the maroon has been chasing the b/w for about 10 seconds ..go about his buisness..com back and do it over again..just short 10 second chases no physical contact that i have seen..the b/w will do the submission dance once in a while....should i seperate them(diffrent tanks or is this just iam the boss and i rule the tank thing??..will it settle down or not???..opinions needed please

I wouldn't separate them yet. If he is doing his little don't kill me dance, and she breaks off the charge, they may be able to work this out. If this interferes with him getting food or you notice torn fins, then I would separate them.

no torn fins..and they seem to get along fine during feeding...there was no issues at all until on day 3 the lunnar chased b/w out of his territory and the b/w entered the maroons territory...thats when the maroon started comming over to the b/w territory and doing the iam the boss weather you like it or not..right now i have the net sitting in the tank above the b/w territory and the maroon wont go near the net so iam gonna leave it in for the day and see what happens..iam home all day today so i can keep a close eye on the matter and the aquascaping was rearanged while th b/w was acculimating to the tank water

Try to move some rock around and see if this changes anything!

going to do a complete aquscape change in the morning..i dont like the way it is..the agression has slowed but not to my satisfaction

the clown is a black saddle back clown, and once they get bigger they can get pretty fiesty. my female bullied one fish but eventually stopped but when i added a small juv. she did even bother him and let him host right next to her
