clownfish are starting to get a little out of hand...

Well as some of you may remember I recently posted on how my ocellaris female was starting to ravage my hands, well it seems to be progressively moving towards me and my poor yellow tail damsel as they are now keeping it isolated to it's own little area and do not allow any other fish in half of the 75 gallon except for the small clown goby. I write because I am considering taking my ocellaris pair that I have had for over a year in to trade them for a new pair I believe that I have given them a good home and would hate to do that but I can't allow them to threaten the other peaceful inhabitants nor do I have the money to give them their own species only tank.
any ideas on the subject would be greatly appreciated and I am still leaning more towards keeping them but IF I was to get a new clown (single or pair) should I go back with ocellaris (was looking at black) or a different species of clown? I was looking at the whores of the clown world with the clarkii so it would take to the anemone but I also don't want to ditch a "peaceful" clown that terrorizes my tank for a "semi-aggressive" clown that mutilates my tank (though since mine is considered peaceful I hate to see anything more temperamental than that in my tank) open to any and all suggestions, just trying to weigh my options here and hopefully just do whats best for my tank (though if it comes down to them killing inhabitants they will go no questions asked)
