maroon clown going bad

[gohabsgo]

hi all! I would like to know if a maroon clown could nip at the tail of a cleaner wrasse until you see the flesh? I have only these two fish in a 50 g,i never notice agression but the cleaner sleep into a litle hole in a rock and his tail is out ,first i tought it was the hermits but now it's to much, u can see the flesh coming out

Before i got rid of my hermits they would always nip at my fish and i never to this day have seen my maroon nip. Not to say its impossible but from my experience, i would say hermits

Do you have an anemone in the tank?
The Maroons seem to be alright (from what I've seen) until an anemone goes in.... That's when they go to the dark side.
Fish, coral, hands... They'll attack anything that they deem 'in range' of their precious anemone.
I've had two anemones in with my maroon clown, and since then, he wigs out when anything goes near. The gobies get nipped, corals get flipped, and the hermits get picked up and dropped on the other side of the tank. Mine is usually pretty good when my hand is in the tank, but he spits sand at me when I'm looking at the tank up close..
