clowns vs. tang

my 2 clown fish have been living in one of my my anemones and my yellow tang swam by it and they chased it away.. is this typical? or is it a bad sign?

Natural. Clown protects anemone, anemone protects clown. It's played out in nature daily. Hope i could help.

I agree with Minnfish, it is natural behavior to be territorial.

Its very normal. My pair will chase my Blue Tang clear across the tank if it doesn't stay clear. The chromis too. My Yellow Tang can come as close as it likes and its no problem though. Its funny.
