Why is my B/W clown so mean!

[Matt850]

So recently I lost my female clown due to my tang flipping out in the night and stabbing her. A little later I purchased a new juvi B/W clown and H. Mag. anemone for the two of them. Ever since the female died, the male has been amazingly aggressive towards anything coming into the tank. I don't think that putting an anemone in the tank helped in the least since they used to just host the PH. Is this common? Will he ever calm down? He is only aggressive towards things coming into and going out of the tank, not other fish or inverts. Mean as a maroon, I'm just lucky he can't make me bleed... yet...

Clowns are territorial and aggressive. My black and whites attack me relentlessly the second my hand goes into the tank.

Can't wait for this! I just figured it was odd that it attacked me when they are on one side of my 90 and my hand goes in the other side. so mean... just so mean.. lol

I had the same problem before and ended up giving them away to a buddy of mine. Very aggressive ... never seen behavior like that before in another fish really.

They go for blood. I had no idea... Now my 5g is a algae box because Im scared to get in there to scrape.

Mine are as nice as can be, i put my hand in there all the time and they never do anything.

I had a pair of clowns, they were very nice, i would dip my finger and move my finger back and forth, they would come up to the top of the tank and start to nibble at my finger, They were so cute.
