is there a way??


I was just wondering if there was a way to actually coax my stubborn clown out of the upper corner of the tank he has been there always and only comes away to eat, I have hammer coral, leathers, xenia's, and 2 anemones (1 very large sabae, and 1 small bta) he doesn't seem interested in anything in the tank, would it help to get him out of the corner by adding another clown???

Clowns can get very territorial and pick a corner of a tank and just hang out there. This is not a bad thing and if it seems happy then I would leave it alone. Adding another clown may prompt it to leave the corner but it may only come out to harrass the other fish.
If another fish is pestering your clown and it is going into the corner to get away then you have a different problem all together.

no none of my fish seem to bother each other, lucky i guess, I have 1 yellow tang, 1 regal tang, 1 copperband, 1 goby, and 1 sixline wrasse, and the percula, they all seem to get along fine, every now and then the clown will school up with the regal and stay by its side eating and swimming around but for the most part he just hangs out in the upper corner where ya dont ever see him...
