I have two clarki clowns and a one spot fox face. The clowns have been together forever. When I added the fox face I was afraid the clowns would kill it. But instead the fox face follows the female clown around like a love sick puppy. And she doesn't seem to mind. The male clown on the other hand is almost always hiding now. He does still come out at feeding time but eats much less aggressively than before. Should I be worried?
 
As long as he is eating, I wouldn't change much yet. Give them time to get used to each other. You could also add another fish for the foxface to follow around.

My foxface would follow my jawfish around in the same way. The jawfish didn't like it at all. I ended up adding a tang and now those two are buddies. Something about every foxface I have owned loves chilling with a designated "buddy". It's cute actually, as long as the "buddy" doesn't mind.
