Mean clownfish. Need help

[cane]

My tomato clown will not leave my other three clowns alone and any other fish smaller than him. 250 gallon tank had two clowns. One regular and one tomato clown (mean). I had two other clowns in a separate system I had to break down. Two very expensive clowns( breeding pair). How do I catch the tomato clown or even curve aggression.

Use egg crate to divide the tank if possible, keeping tomato on one side away from the other clowns. Then catch the clowns that will be removed with a fish trap or such. I've found clowns to be an easier fish to remove, just have patience

Can’t divide the tank but I’ll buy a trap

Does the tomato hand feed or attack your hand? If so, I've scooped clownfish out by enticing them to (in my case) attack my hand then scoop up with the net from behind. I stick the net in the tank a while before so they arent so concerned about it.

When I have left an acclimation box in the tank they swim in to check it out, mjne arent the brightest I guess..

Never tried hand feeding. Trap/ acclamation box may be best

Not surprising. Tomato clowns are considered to be the worst for aggression among clowns. A trap is the easiest method for removal. You can use a plastic water/soda bottle with the top cut off and easily fashion a homemade one.
