semperfimarine1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 i purchased a flame hawk today at Tek. after i had acclimated him to the tank i put him in with the rest of the "squad" which consists of 2 tangs, 3 chromis, 2 clowns, 1 eel and a goby. lots of lps also. my concern is that once i put him into the 120 the clowns started attacking him and messing with him and would not stop bothering the flame hawk. all the other fish could care less about the hawk and not bothering him whatsoever. but then here come the clowns again. always keeping an eye on him and messing with him. my concern is that they wont stop and will continue till either i take him back or he dies of stress. is this normal for the clowns to react this way towards the flame hawk?!?!?!?!

CaptainBob Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 clownfish can be jerks to new additions, but a flame hawk should be able to put them in their place once he gets more comfortable and picks a rock as his territory. I can't say for sure if he's going get too stressed by them or not since I can't actually see what they're doing to him, but I wouldn't worry about a little watching and chasing, that's pretty normal, but if they're regularly making contact and biting I'd strongly recommend bringing him back in.
