Zoolander Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I've had the same male and female in my tank for about 5 years with no issues. This morning I noticed the male has two clear bites out of his tail. I know clowns can get feisty but why would she start nipping him now?

OregonGrownReef Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Has the male grown at all recently? If the male gets too large, the female may become aggressive to maintain her position in the hierarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could make sense, though, as it appears she's also banished him to the bottom corner of the tank opposite her coral home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
