I just did my 120g upgrade and moved my gold bar maroon pair from a ritteri anemone to a RBTA.

They were my favorite fish but now i want to flush them. I cant do anything in the tank, clean glass, move corals, feed without being charged and bitten.

They knock all my corals over and attack everything from other fish to a monti digi on a frag plug. I want them OUT. Anyone got advice on how to accomplish this impossible task??

My cousin who used to do aquarium maintenance used to get bitten by them all the time. Seems like it's just the nature of the fish.

I don't know of anything you can do once they start getting territorial....I had a 6" female that would tear me a new one every time I put my hands in the tank....It came down to removing her and trading her in at the LFS. I didn't have a pair so I am sure it is worse with two.....Good luck.
