Clown, Toadstool, and the Bully Angel

I have a clown who is now hosting a very large Toadstool coral. He loves it and sleeps in it every night. The problem is that whenever our Pygmy Angel sees him in the Toadstool he attacks him. The Angel could be on the other side of the tank but if he sees the clown in the Toadstool he darts over. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

 

Either remove the angel or rearrange the rockwork. That will hopefully cause the angel to reestablish its territory which will take its mind away from the clown.

 

Thanks, Amcarrig,
I am considering removing the Angel from the tank. The LR, about 160 Lbs worth is mostly epoxyed so that is not an option. He is so happy in that Toadstool, he is just lying there wiggly around as they do...The interesting thing is that he will host the Frogspawn as well, and the Angel does the same thing...

 

The angel is nesting in a coral? Cool....never seen that before!

I would definitely remove the angel then because chances are, it will continue to pick on your clown and most likely any other fish you add to the tank

 

Amcarrig,
No, it is the clown lying in the Toadstool...8)

 

i would rearrange the rocks and other things. but dont get rid of the clown maybe the angel.

 

Hey Nemo,
No, I am definitely not getting rid of the clown. If need be, the Angel is going into another of our tanks. The clown is a very first fish in that tank...8)

 

thats what im talking about.lol another clownfish lover

 

Especially the two in this tank. They have awesome personalities...

 

i love them i want to have a small colony of them in a big tank. ;D
