I have a 90 gallon tank and i got a pair of clowns that are harrassing my 2 new female anthias that i put in like a week ago. What i find strange is they harrass them alot more toward night time then during the day. One of the females they keep stuck in the corner. Should they calm down eventually or do i have to do something about it? It seems like it gets better during the day but the harrassment as night doesn't improve. This has been going on for about a week.

My experience with clownfish says you'll need to make a choice between the clownfish and anything not big/fiesty enough to hold their own. They're little monsters.

Damsels in a funny suit

I would just give them some time and see if they can figure out who's the boss.
