U guys were right. They are mating. I was too stupid to realize it. I looked up pics of eggs and I remember seeing a pile of little red eggs on a rock. But stupid me rearranged my rocks and messed that up.

<-- that's what I'd be doing right now if I were you, LOL
On a brighter note, they're happy in your tank and you're doing something right!

They might stop for awhile, but if you continue treating the same way as they have been, they should start again.

I'm sorry about the angel. Your stock list was definitely too much, though, especially with a 29g tank.
If you really want a few new fish in the tank, I think you're going to have to trade in both clowns. If you remove the female, the male will eventually become female and start the cycle of aggression over again.

Yeah i'm definitely keeping the clowns. I think I'm gonna focus on corals now. I'll start with some frags. Might go looks at some this week.

And for some reason my coraline algae seems to have faded but hopefully that will start to come back. I just got a new GLO T5 light fixture with an actinic bulb and a 18,000k.

I have the same problem. 24 gallon nano cube with 2 clowns. I'd really like to add 1 more reef safe fish with contrasting color, but I have no idea. I tried a watchman and pistol combo, but they killed the goby and now I have a shrimp that's making a mess of my tank

Well since I lost 2 of my fish everything has been. The clown still tries to bite me when I put my hand in the tank but my 2 clowns, 1 damsel, and 1 valentini puffer are all getting along great.
