Default Clown vs Clown vs Clown vs Clown

I just recently added my fourth clown to my tank and ive noticed that my larger clown (clarkii) is having a bit of a problem adjusting to the tank, hes grown more aggresive then ever and i dont wanna keep him in there anymore.He started showing signs of aggression when i added his 3rd tank mate ( black sebae ). Then i added the Cinnamon clown and hes aggresiveness grew onto him. Many people at the pet store say im crazy for having 4 different species of clown in the tank (clarkii, cinnamon, true percula, and a black sebae).... but my real question is there anyway to make him adjust or tolerate his other tank mates, Hes the only one who seems to be having a problem with the other fish. The other 3 have formed a little bond with each other following each other around and living peacefully. ive tried moving the live rock around in the tank, to different locations but theres only soo many places i can move them to and hes a real beautiful fish..... PLEASE HELP !!!

Nope...unless you want to get a bigger tank. Clownfish are extremely territorial, and I feel you are lucky if you have 3 that are currently getting along. I hope that remains the case. Some hobbyists have had to remove clownfish for a few weeks just to add a new fish because of aggression issues.

Hard to say.
How long have you had these clowns?

I think you've been "lucky" thus far. Clarkii and cinammon's are agressive clown's. I would move the clarkii and hope your cinammon does not get agressive with the others.
