clowns are jerks, mine like to rule the tank as well. At least that area where their anemone is. Best just stay clear!

JME, I had a 2.5" Niger take a sizable chomp out of the dorsal area of my clown in my 50g setup years ago. I found my clown still alive after coming home from work but had to euthanize him shortly thereafter. Thought that Nigers were peaceful but found out the hard way that they can be unpredictable.

I guess that's the fate that awaits my clownfish. Behaving like that can only anoy the trigger and some day he'll bite the fish instead of biting the water. The trigger is growing really fast. he's now about 6" with the tail but very peacefull and skittish. It's really the clown that harras it and that clown is only about 1" 1/2....

I am expecting each day to find it the same way you did with yours. I don't blame the trigger though...I would be anoy if someone would do that to me as well.

I think I will try to remove it and put it in my frag tank with the little blue damsel that is there and see if that work better.
