I hear ya and knew it would most likely be an issue but wanted to ask, The tank just needs more fish but if I get something too small it will be bullied and maybe killed. The clown and Damsel literally attack and bite. Hell they both bite my arm when Im working in the tank and even attack the siphon when doing water changes. Id love to get rid of them but they are the only fish that wont go into the trap.
I'm not sure if this will work but I have had pesky aggressive fish that were put in check when I added a larger dominant fish. the large fish could care less about small new additions but will sometimes intervene to stifle aggression from the other fish in its territory. So far I have observed this behavior in a few tangs and one wrasse. But maybe all of them were anomalies. Regardless, it will probably help to dethrone your aggressive fish as the rulers of your tank. More experienced reefers probably have better solutions but that's my first thought.
