Finding a matted pair?

[VICTORIA]

Hello all,
Ok I have a Maroon clown He/she is eight years old. A fine looking fish. How would I go about finding a mate for it? Or is it best not to bother? It also keeps getting into my octocorals. It has worried my plate coral to death. What should I do? (I really love this fish). Thanks

Maroon clowns are especially territorial, so adding another would be difficult. It might be possible to put a small one in a transparent container hanging in the tank, where the original one can't get at it. In time it might accept the newcomer this way. Note, I said might.
