Just keep it away from everything else, and make sure it is well fed. That usually helps it not go on "walkabouts"

My green BTA just decided to go on a walkabout, and I found it just about smothering one of my candycanes. I think I did some intervention soon enough to save the CC. Only time will tell.

I would almost say set up a small new tank for the condi. I usually wouldn't recommend them as a permanent resident to a new reef aquarium do to their needs and their inability to host almost every clown. I had one for a short while when I first got into the hobby. They need lots of light and regular feeding. And like dsoz noted, keep it well away from other inhabitants. These puppies like to sting!

Thanks for the imput. I have someone with a big tank that will take him. I am glad that I saved his life.
