Assuming they are the same species (you didn't mention it). One option would be to put some good hiding places in the tank (such as a couple of PVC T's) so that clown #1 could get away from clown #2 if he/she is attacked. Hard to say from your description, more likely clown #1 would be female if you had her alone for so long, and if clown #2 is beating up clown #1, more likely clown #2 is also female. However they could just be working out their marital difficulties. Depending on the level of violence you could removed one of the clowns or just make sure there is adequate shelter to protect clown #1.

thanks for the replies.
They are both ocellaris clowns. Clown #2 is 100% male due to his history. There are plenty of places to hind in my tank atm. Clown 2 only attacks clown 1 when he is near the RBTA. Clown 2 will never attack unless clown 1 dashes in to the RBTA. But strange enough clown 1 keeps going back for more. Clown 1 is doing a weird twitch. Not a regular seizure one (in one spot). But like full on twitching few inches in random directions.

It's normal behaviour. Same as the twitching. I had a mating pair of clowns, the female died and I replaced her. The male than turned in to a female and I now have another mating pair. This is on a fairly large tank and I have no nano tank experience. Good luck

Just a quick update.
The clowns are not as aggressive now. They are both sharing the same anemone at night. However, there are still some aggression. They dash at each other alot, and push each other around. Their fins are still intact and no tear. Any thoughts? I feel like I am on the right track.
