baby clown not working out, bigger clown?

[NanoreefChris]

new baby clown from AO is getting tormented by the sixline wrasse in my 29g. I would like to take him out and maybe get a bigger clown like a tomato or something.

Would a larger clown that is the size of the sixline or bigger not be scared of the sixline and be ok as the newcomer?

AND

It would be my third fish in the 29g along with a small flame angel. Is this too much bioload for a 29g with a small cleanup crew? (I have a aqua c remora that is skimming well). also do weekly 10-15% water changes.

should be fine.  but tomato clowns get pretty big. 

i personally think they aren't eye appealing.
i would look into a jawfish or goby.

but will it stand up to the sixline that doesnt like newcomers if its the same size?

Try this - place the clown in a specimen container and let the six line get used to it. Even if you get a new clown - consider doing this so the other fish adjust to it.

A sixline can be dr. jekll mr hyde. Even in a large tank the six line could go psycho and kill everyone. Ideally you capture it...

then re-arrange the LR, intro the small clown - and after it settles in (a few days/week) - re-intro the sixline.

Anyways the top-of-the-aggression charts for clowns would be a maroon. He/she would definitely be able to handle a sixline.

Exnay the sixline and get another clown(a bit bigger) to make a pair,much more fun to watch than a sixline . And a chance of breeding could be in your future,it seems to be spreading throught the club. ;D
