aggressive fish

ok... so i have had allot of things happen lately and not been able to properly care for my tank. my corals for some reason have gotten much bigger but i had some algae growth but after a few water changes everything is back to normal. anyways the thing is i have a maroon clown i was going to get rid of forever ago and never did but it killed one of my true perc's. :'( but i have decided i really like the maroon clown its a beautiful color very vibrant and im going to get rid of the other clown, my question is... "what other fish are reef safe that wont get bullied by the maroon?" ex. damsels? or a small puffer? i'm no fish expert lol any help is really appreciated.

 

Im assuming this is for your 40G? A small puffer will go after corals and inverts ... You could try a dwarf angelfish - not all are horrible reef members.

 

What about firefish? I have a purple and a red together in my reef with my maroon clown. He doesn't every bother them. I think they also add some nice color.

 

clowns, damsels, firefish, dwarf angels, SOME wrasses, Blennies, Gobies, Tangs....

 

^ +1...or try another maroon clown if your up for the breeding challenge

 

if you add more clowns, your maroon will most likely kill them too, if you do try and add any new fish try moving the rock work around right before you add them. this way the maroon won't be able to defend its territory cause it won't be able to establish it yet. check this article out might explain a lot of aggression w/ fish especially damsel/clown Fish can see uv fish you could try and add either be able to hold their own or be super submissive and stay clear of ur clown.

 

My maroon clown killed my fire fish....

 

awesome now i have some ideas, any yes i defiantly think i want another maroon clown i really like the color of mine, thanks for any and all suggestions
