Unfortunately, they never seem to get bored with that one.

Most clowns and especialy tomatoes, maroons and melanopus don't like intruders or changes to their personal space. You would be surprised at the size of a piece of rock or coral that they can pick up and move if they do not like where you have put it.

When it first happened to me I couldn't figure out how the new frags I had just placed in the tank were ending up at the opposite end.

After it happened a couple of times I started to watch and soon figured it out. A clownfish can only outsmart me for so long. So, I moved the frags to a different spot (that I didn't like as much)and showed him who had the superior intellect.
