I don't know how to help you, but my mom used to have Clarkii clowns too and they were the meanest fish either of us have ever owned. They killed several of her fish. If someone else reads this, I highly recommend NOT getting them.

i second that..
i hate them... i've gotten to the point... where it seems like the only way he's going out is in a net or dead. he's not staying in there.. i don't care if getting him out means killing him.. he's 4 and 0..

Use a fishing hook a small size hook will do the trick put some shrimp meet on it and tie the hook to fishing line and it should work if he is a agressive eatter. Thats how I took my tomato clown.
