Cardinal dying?

[bakerjk12]

Ok so we took a water sample to the LFS, and they said the water is "PERFECT." In such the case, they talked us into 2 hard corals, a replacement Cardinal, 25 lbs of Live rock, and 2 clownfish. Now it actually seems that the Cardinals are "bullying" the clownfish. The seem to have them cornered in the back of the tank..... We bought the banner cardinals bc they were supposed to be the most timid of all the fish we have planned out. Has anyone ever seen these be territorial or are they just nosey?

I have netted the 2 cardinals and now the clownfish are swimming the entire tank like a kid in a candy store.... They seem happy as can be.... How do I keep the Cardinals from bullying them?

only need to make one post.
Are they corals or anemones?
See advice in other thread.

Thanks again for the advice. I posted in both threads bc I figured the title is no longer appropriate for the subject. I actually woke up this morning and everything seems to be doing fine. I will be talking to the LFS to ensure that if something does go south the with anemones, I will be receiving credit....seeing as how they were almost $100. Thanks again for the help!

I would suggest you go back and do some reading here.

IMO you have not done enough research on the nitrogen cycle and how to ready a saltwater aquarium for the addition of fish. You have been given some questionable advice from your fish store.
