So I have two questions my first is I just got a leopard wrasse and he is out in the morning but later around 6 when I feed them I can't find him should I change my feeding times or will he figure it out. My second question is that I have two clowns and one coral beauty in the tank along with the wrasse they all got along fine but as of the last week or so one of the clowns started to pick on the coral beauty and I see bite marks on the fins of it should I be worried or will them work it out. btw the clown is like 2 1/2 inches and the coral beauty is about 3 inches.

That depends, clowns can be territorial. What size tank are they in?

Joshua I. · 05/30/2018, 04:55 PM

55 gallon

Not likely, clownfish generally will stay is a very small area in a tank once they settle in and defend that territory when other fish come near.

should I just leave them or try to do something and should I change my feeding times for the wrasse or no?

If the CB is not new to the tank and they have been after each other for a week or more I would say to do something to separate them. As far as the wrasse if it's a new addition to the tank I would not worry much.

The wrasse is and the CB isn't new but I guess they have been fighting for about 3 or 4 days now
