Green long tip getting pounded by clown

[bobman]

As the title says I have had my green long tip for a while and all has been great. I have a small Ocellaris (nemo) and it dont want anything to do with the nem. then I upgraded to a lager tank that came with a mated pair of black and white clowns. One is pretty good size and hsted the nem as soon and I put it in the tank. Problem is he is to big and is smothering the nem and now my nem is all shriveled up on the sand and not looking so good. Has good color and eats well just dont look to happy. Any ideas to keep the peace in the tank. I really dont want to rehome either but might have to. I have thought about maybe getting a larger red bubble tip and see if I can get him to go move but not sure if thats possible. Any thoughts

Have to rehome. They will love the nem to death. I had a 5" maroon that went through 3 nems. Finally i get a ritteri that was 12" open and it stood up to her.

Just my opinion, you can try something different. See what guys with more experience than me say. I just say what i personally have been through.
