What kind of clowns? How big? I think usually if you get 2 older ones, one usually has to be bigger than the other to establish the alpha-female in the tank. I just got 2 juvi clarkiis, about one inch big and they try and get after one another from time to time. Good luck to you though, hope nothing bad happens

This is a dominance role play , the female is letting the male know who`s boss .

If you put in a decorative kitchen with sink and oven in your tank, the female will leave the male alone!

Depending on the size of the tang , a 55 is too small and the tang is trying to defend the small living space he has . The very minimum for a juvenile yellow tang is a 75 gallon .
