    I have two maroon clowns and a flame angel in my tank currently. They get on fine and the clownfish have been in there for about 8 months.

    I just added 3 firefish and the female clown keeps attacking them and won't let them out from their hiding places under the rockwork.

    The angel and male clown are fine but the larger female one is being difficult.

    Any ideas what I can do?

    Thanks

    Try moving around the decor or taking out the clown and reintroducing it to the tank after about 10minutes. If nothing works and the bullying continues your bests bet is to replace it with another in your lfs. Once its in fine condition im sure your lfs will replace it ifs he's a bully. Its bests to take action or your other fish might become stressed and die :)
