I just introduced a firefish and oc clown after 4 weeks of QT. The tank has a small (3/4") chromis in it already. At first the chromis paid no attention but it is picking at the clown (a little smaller than the chromis) here and there. Is this normal? Should I remove the chromis? I thought Chromis were peaceful with other fish.

This is the 75g tank? Hmm, the Chromis might adjust after a while, but I'd watch the clown for signs of injury. How bad is the fighting?

It is in the 75G. The clown swims up to the chromis and the chromis picks at it a few times. Sometimes it even swims up to the clown and pecks at it.

It just started so I covered the tank with a blanket so everyone would hide and go to sleep.

I guess I'd watch carefully, but I'd expect them to settle into territories, most likelly.
