First, I want to say that this is a wonderful site and I have learned a lot from Steve-S and the other folks that respond to questions.
Now, for my question. I have a 120 gallon reef tank. I have two Perc Clowns (false) that I introduced at the same time about 7 months ago. They have both done extremely well and have always gotten along. A couple of days ago they started fighting - extreme fighting. All the other fish are doing fine and stayting out of it - this is just between the clowns. One of them is winning and he continues to swim during the day and eat. The other one is hiding during the day and does not come out to eat. Again, all other fish are doing fine and water conditions have remained constant. All corals are also doing very well and show no signs of change.
Does anyone know why my clowns got along for 7 months and now are fighting. I think I am going to have to donate one back to the lfs unless someone out there has some good advice for me that resolves this problem.
