Swapping females from two mated pairs?

[Fink]

Is this something that can be done? The female clown in my 90g has become hyper-aggressive towards anything that comes near her anemone. Killed one anthias last night, and is constantly hunting for the other anthias today (they are new additions). The clowns in my biocube are much more passive, so I'm curious if it would be ok to switch the female snowflake in the biocube with the female davinci in my 90g? Would the left behind males pair with the new females?

I have done it without problem before. However, why not switch the pair?

Partly because the clowns in the cube don't host the anemone, so mixing them up might take care of two things for me at once.

Sorry but it drives me nuts, clowns do NOT host anything. Lol they are hosted by the nem.

It is true that the anemone is the host and the clowns are the tenants. However, life is too short. Please do not go postal on us.

Go for it. I swab them often. You can always change your mind if it does not work out.

Thank you, this was very helpful to my original question.
