Put a skunk clown pair in with my perc pair that just hangs in the right side of tank and disastrous from get go. Thought if i released on left side and skunks a completly different look than percs would be ok. WRONG!! The percs spotted them instantly and went on murderous rampage. Skunks hid right away and percs stalked entire tank all night long looking for em. They havent left right corner in 3 months and last night were all over tank for hours hunting them. Was off the charts phsycho. When the bugger female skunk appeared after like 3 hours they pounced on her. She attempted to fight back but both of them wailed on her. The little one i found on floor and the other one is still in hiding i think. It is doomed. I tried to catch them but was nearly impossibe. I had a 6' 150 that had perc pair and added a tomato years ago and no problem. Not so in 4' tNk. $80 down the toilet. Grrrr

It does often go wrong, but my ocellaris clowns and my pink skunks (in a 4 ft tank) chose to coexist and spawn within a few inches of each other:

ocellaris clowns on the upper left, laid eggs just below their colt coral
pink skunks in the middle, laid eggs under the H. crispa anemone
