I traded some frags to my LFS and used the credit to get a new fish. (Currently I have a 6-Line wrasse, coral beauty angel and a black clown in 30g tank).
I picked up a platinum clown. I asked the guy how he think she'd do with my black clown I have had for a year and he said as long as the black clown is bigger they should be fine. The platinum is 1/3 smaller than the black clown. I introduced the platinum into the tank and the black one keeps going up and nipping and pushing the platinum into the top back corner. I put in a mesh box in the tank and put the black clown in it. I am letting the platinum get used to the tank. The black one is in the mesh box and keeps ni[[ing the net when the platinum swims by. (Pictures below. Link to video https://youtu.be/nnpcy44OZN4 )
The black one lost its partner last year after a damsel (no longer have) bullied her out of the tank. They were bonded six months and the smaller one, the one I have, should be male. This one was the smallest platinum the LFS, so might be male too(?).
What do I do?
Do I keep the platinum in the mesh box and take the black one out? Should I set up my 3g QT and put one in there and wait a few days? Do I let them go at it tomorrow and see if by night they can work it out? Should I trade my black clown in for a baby one at the LFS and introduce it, brand new, to the tank and my brand new platinum? Thoughts? Opinions?
Also, no, I do not have an anemone.
