I have had a pair of maroons that have been together for about 8mos, happily. I just introduced a GBTA just under a week ago. they both hopped in the nem within a day and seemed to cohabitate peacefully for several days.
yesterday eve, i noticed one of the maroons fins was a bit torn, and wondered what happened. then i spotted the (i think female) only sitting in the anemone not allowing the male to come back in. i watched for a bit and saw them fighting. they were shredding each other and it looked ugly. finally the male decided to leave and go swim on the other side of the tank. now this morning the female is being really territorial. anyone had this happen....? what did you do? did it work?
