Damsels are very territorial and it's usually around lights out time that the battle for a place to roost can cause problems. In a smaller tank the territory is limited and with that many damsels competing for a sleeping spot..... well.

Ha, ha and globaldesigns, I have a Maroon pair, they're bad ass and I love it. No wimpy percs or occ or whatever for me. Actually I probably have one of the more tolerant females from what I've seen, she's only taken a hit at my hand a couple of times and never drew blood. Although, she may well have been the reason one of my Lawnmower Blennies took the leap....

would also add that if water conditions arent favorable or liveable they can jump or try to get to better conditions........i too have a clown i wish would jump lol its a pair of cinnamon clowns the female is very aggressive and has taken chunks out of my soft flesh many many times....mean little bugger hummm this makes me want to start a thread hehehe stay tuned
