Today I bought I pygmy cherub angel to add to my reef tank and it has been about 30 minutes since I added the little guy (he's only about an inch, or a little less) And my clown fish wont stop their horribly, vicious, series of attacks.
Their anemone has split in the last few days, but they haven't seemed very protective to the other four inhabitants of the tank (3 pajama cardinals and an algae blenny) The angel has gone to the complete opposite side of the tank and the clowns search until they find him/her before attacking from either side.
I have tried to help keep the angel hidden by moving a few of my rocks to make him/her a little cave near where he/she has found a hide out in hopes that it will detour the clowns a bit.
I'm just surprised since both the female and the normally peaceful male are causing such a riot over such a small fish that isn't even near their anemones. I did have a coral beauty a while back that would chase the pair...some sort of grudge? :lol:
If anyone has any tips on what I can do to help the situation or any advice as to what I should do please let me know!
