o.k so i have a maroon clown that lost his anemone in my tank change, he had been roaming the tank before i had got him a new BTA.. in the old tank he also hosted a nice BTA
i also have a saddleback clown(larger than the maroon, not by much) in my tank that hosts a big LTA
both did this in the old tank without any problems at all
in the new tank the saddlerback sleeps in his LTA all night but during the day will swim over to my maroon clown's BTA and chase him out and sit in it... then he will go back to the LTA and sit in that.. this goes on all day long!
i feel really bad for my maroon...
question is why is he doing this now all of a sudden? should i get rid of the saddlbeacks LTA and buy him a new BTA, then will it stop?? this didnt happen in the old tanka nd the situation was the same? :mad:

The real reason why your clowns are fighting over the anemone is you have 2 different species of clowns in the same tank. Not a good idea to mix clownfish species. Get one of them out.
