Introductory break-in period for new clownfish

[asianer]

I had a snowflake clownfish in a 25g tank for about 2 months now and I added another one (Onyx misbar) last night, The onyx (slightly larger) has been chasing around the snowflake all morning, I was wondering if this will eventually stop or if I should separate the two now as I don't want the snowflake to get too stressed. I believe they are both Ocellaris. Thanks in advance.

you'll have to wait it out for a bit. they need to get used to each other. you can always separate if you are really worried.
get one of these.

sounds risky. your onyx might be going for the kill...

If they are labelled correctly

snowflake = ocellaris
onyx = percula

Separate with mesh cage as above now. Waiting seems likely to result in killing or jumped out when being chased. The net cage will give some time for the original to get used to the new guy, or at least allow you to figure out that they'll never acclimate , should that be the case.

Thank you

Thanks for all the replies, they seem to have gotten used to each other and are playing nice together...for now...
