Try:
- mirror
- acclimation box (something clear, cut/drill sides so water flows thru)
--- even repurpose something from your recycling; weigh down with rock
- prayer

Post #14 of this thread pretty innovative if you have plastic zip ties and egg crate handy to make box:

They seem to be same species of clown, so over time this should settle out. Clowns are thought to be so cute, but they are territorial and can be mean. I get bit every water change by my clowns - nothing else ever bites me. I had a Lightning Clown gorgeous & personality, introduces 8 nemo clowns, eventually had to rehome Lightning after he healed in sump from having bit so many nemos so often he wore off his mouth and nose skin before we could catch him (it all did heal back before he left... still miss him)

That's actually sort of funny in a clown sort of way! Better the 8 nemos rather than your hand though, right?
