    I would give them a bit of time, unless sign of clown getting beat to death. I have a pair of yellow tails that have only chased after new arrivals for just a little while, then they get tired of it. I really like them. :-/

    I trust that you're referring to my advice when you posted this so if that's the case, I'll be sure to not reply to any more of your posts.

    Your second post came of as extremely preachy, not something needed at the moment.
    As I had stated earlier the fish are native here, most are caught from the ocean... the blue damsels in particular.

    your points were welcome and graciously taken in mind, if it was not meant to be preachy then you have my apologies.

    have you tried separating the clown from the others for a few weeks? maybe if they see it in the tank after a few weeks, they might just give up and stop attacking it,,,they will only attack the plastic "cage" you have the clown in for so long and they will tire of it and find something else to attack. or put two other fish in that you can use to sort of "bait" for them to attack until the clown gets adjusted....just a suggestion.....:)
