Clowns and flame hawk

[abryant]

Why do my clownfish bully my flame hawk I just put him in the other day and they don’t leave him alone. They just push him into a hole in the rock and don’t let him out

Clowns can be territorial. what size is your tank?

Clowns will bully a marble if you throw it in the tank. Having 2 is having a buddy to bully said marble.
Sometimes moving the scape around will help.
You may need to be the boss here.

And people always wonder why I have a 60g for two clowns I see MAYBE once a week usually when they are biting me.

1 fish.
20 gallons.
Complete terror.
Last time my hands were in the tank was to pull out the light I dropped in the tank since he bit me so hard me and the light just went swimming.
Got to try LEDS for the first time ever now.
Expensive free fish....

I hate mine. Worst decision was getting any let alone a pair. At least they ONLY bully me and the yellow watchman... for now.

Definitely try moving aquascape.

Moving the aquascape isn’t gonna work I have all my corals glued down. I taped a mirror to the glass now it distracts the clowns from constantly picking on him but they’re still mean to him when they’re not hitting the mirror

And now you too have a species tank.

Yeah. I feel like there needs to be a public service announcement or sticky. I knew the risks and went anyways because reasons/kids/intrigue, but even though I knew better I did it any ways!

My female clown killed a couple of fish. She's now met her match in a lemon peel angel who keeps them in their box.
If's it's not one fish it's another.
There's always a bigger bully to come along
