Mean and aggresive clown?

I bought a pair of clowns, percula or however its spelled about 4 days ago. I also have a Koran Angel (she was the first fish in my tank, so she is pretty territorial). But these clowns now act like they OWN this tank. I cannot even stick my hand in the tank without getting attacked, I have owned a few clowns before and none of them acted like this, they were always super nice it seemed, always begging for food. These new clowns I have, are just vicious! Has anyone ever experienced this?

The female is the worst! I am starting to feel really bad for my Koran Angel, cause she cannot even move around the tank anymore, she has to hide because she gets attacked.

WOW....I looked up Koran angel...do you know they can get to be 15"....
 
it also says never to keep one in less than 100G tank.....that seems small for a 15" fish though
 
BUT my point was...since the clowns don;t like it, and you have it in a 55G, maybe you need to find the angel a new home

The koran has stayed small, she was so little when we got her (maybe 1"), I know that once she gets bigger I will have to find her a new home, but if any fish go, it will be the clowns lol, they are the newcomers. She is still somewhat small, maybe 2-3" long.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that Finding Nemo lied and clowns aren't the sweet lilttle fish as portrayed by that movie!
