Yeah, it's a problem with clowns. And it's not helped that if you got an anemonae or a euphyllia coral for them to host in, for a 10 gallon the coral would have to be so big it took over the entire tank, or so small the presence of the clown will pester it to death.
No easy answer. Plastic anemone?

That is if you can get them to host in it. Once they have their sights on something it is really difficult to get them to change. Mine have been hosting my candycane and I have tried moving it and they always seem to find it.....I may have to either remove the clown to the 20g or the candy cane......then again fragging the candy cane may be an option.......

ok if i move my tomato clown from the 30 gallon to the 55 and the perc from the 10 to the 30 what fish would be a good choice for the 10???

 

[Lorna]

clown gobies are great for a 10 as they don't get big and are real charachters. Or a watchman gobie/shrimp pair? or a fire fish or even a pair of neon gobies

 

[TRe]

i had a fire fish in ther a while ago and he jumped out so ill definitly have to put the egg crate now

 

[TRe]

how bout a shrimp goby pair?? would that work out in a ten gallon?

 

[Lorna]

Yes, a shrimp gobie/tiger shrimp pair are perfect for a 10

and they dont seem to mind anymore sometimes they close halfway but most of the time he'll swim right through and they stay open
