Help! Aggressive fish and small clownfish

[what_isTHIS]

I just got a clownfish with a rainbow bta. Just put them both from a breeder box into the main tank. Anemone is really small around 2 inches when fully extended, clownfish is like 1 inch. Of course the clown hosted the bta just today but I have a super aggressive striped damsel. He is about 3 inches and all my other damsels don't care about the clownfish but he does. I just remembered the rbta closes at night meaning the clownfish has no protection tonight. What do I do? And every time the clownfish tries to adventure out, he gets attacked.

Catch the damsel is really the only option if he wont leave the clown alone

Re-home the damsel. It's a damsel. It's not gonna stop.

Get another clownfish! The Damsel will be less likely to go after him if he's paired off :) usually settles things
