Hi all, I had 200 gallon reef tank and there are a lot type of fish but my problem is with the anemone clownfish the orange one I bought 2 and they not survive even for 24 hours I try yesterday with new one but bigger around 2.5 inches but same things no survive. I had 2 African clownfish with thire anemones and they fight little bit with other and new clownfish 3.5 inchs. Also I had indian triggerfish I am thinking this is the criminal it is 5.5 inches size. My all tests are perfect. What to do I would like to keep like this fish any advice thanks In advance http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/13/pyha4yve.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/13/8useqyry.jpg

Clownfish are very territorial. They may have just killed them as soon as they got in there. Stress can do it also. I really would not put anymore clownfish with what you already have.

As julie180 and Xavibear said, only 1 pair of clownfish per tank. The rest will be eliminated one way or another.

I added three all at the same time and they got along. Just like CoralBeauty13 said is the norm.

+1 on what Snorvich & others said about just one pair of clownfish per tank. The culprit may have been the trigger, but more than likely was the other clowns.
