Ocellaris

Should I put the agressive Ocellaris in a breeding box, or the smaller Orange Storm?

Hi everyone,
Female clown died two months ago, (This female was part of a previous pair) and I've been trying to pair the remaining male Ocellaris (who's been in the tank for 2 years now) with an orange storm clownfish. So far, a lot of nipping has happened, and a couple of slightly larger attacks. I'm wondering if I put the aggressor in the breeding box or the orange storm. A bite from the Ocellaris ended the life of another clown before this. The OS has been in the tank for almost two days now, with him being in the breeder box for a lot of it. At night, the Ocellaris gets more agressive. I'm kind of worried for the orange storm because of its size.

If there are no torn fins I wouldn't remove anyone. If fins are getting torn on the storm the older clown should be the one to be put in a breeder box to let the new fish acclimate to the system.
