I had 2 green chromis for about a month, 2 clowns for about 3 weeks and I just got rid of a coral beauty.. Today my 1 green chrmiis is getting really aggressive to the other one. Enough 1 is hiding and not so colourful anymore. Should I add a couple more or just pull 1 out and put it in my sump?

i have 4 and i notice they all kinda pick on each other, my biggest one even tries picking on my clownfish alot of the time. they still all hang out together but sometimes they like to show each other whos boss i guess.

Exactly the same here.  I have always considered chromis kind of throw away fish like damsels (except damsels never ever die!!!).  I had 4, then I had 3, then I had 2... not the big one beats the crap out of the little one, and tries to pick on the clownfish too.  Clownfish are tough bastards though.

I have 7 they get along with everyone and most of the time swim in formation. I was always told to keep an odd # of them and to either have 1 or more then 5. Seems to work
