So heres my stock:

2x mocha clowns
1x darwin clown(?) (Black and white no orange)
1x black bicolor blenny
1x fire fish goby

Okay so all was well, until I added the darwin.. she is quite large possibly full size and also most likely already female..

Before I added (her?) the fish seemed pretty comfortable, but after adding (she is docile) they all seem quite scared. The fire goby is staying hidden in the castle, and the blenny gets the white patterns all over when stressed which I am seeing constantly right now.

I also have a bignose unicorn tang that will all be living together soon.

Is this something I should hopefully see improvement on? I am not even sure that the fire goby is eating..
 
Yes they'll get used to any new additions, so long as the new additions are not aggressive
 
3 clowns don't do well together. Usually one will end up being killed and the other two will stay a pair. You either keep a pair of clowns or a harem of clowns otherwise it almost always leads to aggression.
