I just put A 3 in long Scotts Fairy Wrasse in a 175 yesterday. My 1 in long False Perc Clown is really picking on the big guy. The big guy is hiding and the Clown is trying to find him. I have moved some of the rock work around, is there any other advice some of you guys can give. Basically I have a $20 fish stressing a $125.00 fish. Suggestions please!

I did try to catch it. Short of removing rock I doubt it.

Well, the Scotts will prevail. A very aggressive and potentially mean fish. If you cannot temporarily remove the A. ocellaris, turn off the lights in the tank for a day.

eventually the clown will learn his lesson when the scotts turns on him, and he will, just hope the clown gets the point before the scotts makes lunch of him, id say the scotts is just a bit stressed now from being added but he will eventually gain his sea legs and take care of himself.

Thanks, its kind of pathetic to see this big guy hiding from the little clown. I have been turning lights off early. But I will leave them off today.
