I’m sad to say my female pink skunk clown lost a battle to an oversized emerald crab last night :(

My question is do I keep my male (orange skunk) and try adding the pair of blackfoot rose skunks that got donated to my lfs a while back, or do i rehome him and get a pair of clarkiis like ive always wanted? I’m having a hard time with the idea of not having my male anymore though, as he was the first saltwater fish i had back when i started reefing a year and a half ago. He’s still super tiny so im not even sure if he’s sexually mature yet, but that being the case im more concerned any new clowns would end up bullying him instead of vice versa.

Tank is a 90gal mixed reef with a white tail bristletooth tang, female watanabe angel, dragon goby, and a pair of pygmy wasps:

Well a trio of clowns never really works, so if you added the pair that were donated the probably would kill your male. Either get another skunk thats significantly larger than him or re home him and get of of the two pairs you mentioned

That’s what I was afraid of, thank you😔
