Bought one today to add to my tank, I already have 3 other types of clown fish in the tank with a blue damsel fish in a 29 gal bio cube. It's been about 5 hours since I put the new one in and they are terrorizing the new one and won't let him come out so now I am printing out clown fish pictures to put up onto tank to hopefully confuse the older ones.....

Any suggestions?!?!
 
Turn out the lights. They acclimate easier withthe lights out.
 
What type of clowns were in there and what did you add?

Lots of clown should only be kept single or in a mated pair or they will fight to the death

okay so you have three types before you added the clarkii, and another damselfish as well.

2 percula = 1 type
1 "Banded clownfish" +1 clarkii OR, 2 clarkii= 1 type

Thats only two types of clownfish. Clarkii are commonly referred to "Banded clownfish" unless you meant a "Two Banded Clownfish"

You can only have one pair of clownfish in a biocube.
Any suggestions?!?!
Do some research next time. Try to rehome some of these fish before they die.

Seriously?
 
I've met you before, you're good intentioned. But, as others have mentioned, this is not a good idea.

I link to this site constantly, not because I'm affiliated with it in any way, but because it is an EXCELLENT repository of information. See below:

"Territoriality:

Anemonefishes can be overtly territorial, in particular where any threat to their host anemone is concerned. It is suggested that they be introduced with their host anemone after other fish tankmates, or provided with their own system. If your clown fish are very large and you want to try adding new specimens; disturbing/re-arranging the physical environment, extra-feeding and a watchful eye for problems are advised. Most other species of fishes are left alone as long as they are previously established, larger or more aggressive, and do not bother the Clownfish's anemone or come too close while the clown's are breeding. Anemonefish can and will attack you and draw blood if so inclined.

Large non-paired adults generally do fight in all but the largest aquaria. Likewise, mixing species of all but juvenile sizes is chaotic. Keep them in separate systems.

To reiterate; aggression can be intense amongst and between species of Anemonefishes. They lock jaws and "bite" each other cichlid-like. To reduce agonistic behavior, provide adequate size quarters, a number of anemones, be leery of mixing sizes and sexes and restrict your collection per tank!. If you want to try mixing adult species, make sure each pair has a large anemone, so they won't fight over anemones. Breeder pairs of some species are kept in ten to twenty gallon systems commercially; yours should be much larger."
