hi everyone

yesterday i got 2 clowns and added them to my tank, tihs tank has all the live rock form my other tank that i just got rid of, when i changed tanks i sent 3 fish back to the shop and kept my sixlined wrasse,

when i bought the new common clowns yesterday i didnt realise i would have a problem until they were in the tank and the lights went back on, as soon as the wrasse saw the clowns he chased them all around the tank,
its a 19 g nano tank so there was not much space for the chaseing, anyway the clowns ended up in the weir and 1 of them nearly got sucked into my durso pipe,
i was told to put a mirror on the side of the tank so the wrasse would fight with his reflection,, this has worked a little bit but today he is still chasing but it isint as bad as he was yesterday, he is backing down from them after just a couple of seconds whereas yesterday he would chase them until they hopped out of the tank into the weir

what will i do?

i cant catch the wrasse so i can put him in the sump for a few days,

i wouldnt be able to get a female wrasse to calm him down

That wouldn't help anyway!

But, I think the best you can do is rearrange all your rock so that aquascaping is different and the wrasse doesn't think he "owns" the place anymore. Is the chasing still going on?
