Female clownfish abusing male

Carnage Qp

I have a 50g cube with 2 RTBAs, a bunch of hammers and torches, the 2 mocha storm Occ clowns and a diamond goby. The two clowns have been in the tank for a month but recently the female is getting super aggressive towards the male. They both host in either nem, sometimes the same nem at the same time, but lately she has been attacking him for no reason. I tried feeding more frequently and different types of food to no avail and I want to cut this aggressive behavior down because they were expensive "designer" clowns. Before I take them back to my LFS I wanted to see if anyone has fixed this before. Thanks.

Are you sure they are male/female? Aggression is tough to stop without separation

How big is the tank, can you use an acclimation box to isolate?
