Maroon clown vs foxface

Hi, my maroon clown will at times go after my fox face trying to guard his area in the tank. The fox face is putting his fins up trying to stab him in defense. Can his venom kill the clown?

Have no clue, but those Maroons and Tomatoes sure get to be mean buggers.

Yes, very mean fish. Foxface is alot bigger than him.

If it were me, I would be hoping for the Foxface to kill the Maroon.

Just kidding. Sort of.

They should be okay if the tank is large enough. The clown is defending home spot and the foxface will learn to stay away. My clowns (blackfoots) go after everyone except the yellow tang near their nem. Most just posture and move on.

The fox face is not hiding and is eating. They been together for six months and all of sudden maroon does not want him in his area.

Things have got worse ,when I got home fox face seems stressed and not eating and has scrape on his eye. That clown has got to go! I shut lights off to help the situation ,so fox face can relax a little. The clown sleeps under a rock. I don't think a night catch will work.Any suggestions how I can catch him?
