i had one sabea clown in my 210reef, with an anemone. i recently purchased 1 skunk clown, and 2 perculars, to add to the reef.
the sabea i had in the tank is just attacking the 2 perculars! even with them on the opposite side of the tank, in no way invading his space, or going close to his anemone. he does'nt bother the skunk, only the perculars. i'm afraid he will kill them. they stay at the very top of the tank, and hardly get the food, when i feed.
should i get another anemone for thier side of the tank? They seem to be pairing up, will they share the anemone, or fight over it?one is slightly larger then the other.
i tried to remove the sabea, so i can reintroduce him in a day or so, but i can't catch him. too many rocks. please help, thanks
