I recently added a plan orange occelaris clown to my 14 gallon bio cube. The tank already housed a black half mis-bar occelaris and a highfin goby+candy cane pistol. The problem I’m having with them is the are both small, but the orange one is a little larger than the black occelaris and the black one is submitting, but they still mouth fight with each other quite often. As of now both clowns have scratched up faces and mouths. Sorry for the bad shots, wish these guys would sit still...

I have the black clown in a fry box to let the
orange clown rest for a bit. Is there anything I can do to help these clowns get along?
 
Keeping it in a fry box for a bit is exactly what I did.

Otherwise, try rearranging the locations of things in the tank so that neither of them feel comfortable...

Other then that, they need to sort out their pecking order.
