Aggressive clown

[PilotWolf]

Whats the best way to deal with this other than the toilet or trade forum?

It's probably the biggest fish in the tank other than maybe the tang. Very greedy and pushes other fish out of the way for food. Noticed today my chromis being bullied - one of which is almost dead. We've lost other fish for no reason too - now suspect the clown is the reason?

If its the maroon... no other option that to trade it.

+1 on trading the maroon. I had a pair that kept all other tankmates on one side of the tank

It's been in the tank for nearly a year now and this is the first time I've seen it attack other fish...

Going to be fun to catch...

Heres what I did when I had to catch my maroon pair:

I got some of that light diffuser panels (the ones people make frag racks out of) and used it to make a 3 sided box. Then I cornered the fish against a panel wirh thay box. Then I used a net to remove it from the makeshift trap. Took me 15 mins to catch both

I had a maroon and a snowflake clown and my snowflake beat the maroon up even though the maroon was bigger.
