New Clowns

[tonyga]

Purchased a small maroon clown 4 days ago. First fish for the tank.(they only had one) Yesterday I went and purchased a second Martin lightning, very similar in size. Needless to say the first one bullied the crap out of the new guy to a point of trying to kill him. I caught the first one, the bully, and this morning the new one looks fine. I also bought a bow tie chromi which is doing fine with no issues.

Of course the lightning maroon was considerably more money. Should I get rid of the first or keep him quarantined for a period of time and reintroduce? He is currently in a net breeder in the tank.

Any help would be appreciated

This maroon clown is way too aggressive to my new lightning maroon clown. Willing to trade for some kind of coral if anyone can use him.

You could also try an acclimation box for a couple of weeks to see if they'll settle down:

I'll do that. Had him in one fir a few days but wasn't enough
