Hi Everyone.

It has been years since I've kept mollies but I finally decided to add fish to my 13.5gal Nano that has had soft corals only for the past couple of years.

I started with a single, male, sailfin molly (already acclimated to saltwater) and he did great all on his own. After a few weeks, I decided to get a pair of Clownfish (regular Ocellaris) and to my surprise the Molly is constantly chasing them in what appears to be an attempt to mate.

I'm not sure what to do here....
Will the constant chasing be stressful to the clownfish?
Will the Molly settle down eventually?
Should I get a couple of female mollies to divert his attention?

TIA
