The first clown I purchased is about 2 inches long and the new one is
around an inch long. Something happened while my back was turned one day
because now when the little one trys to get near the larger clown, the
larger clown body slams the little one away. The larger one has snapped
(lurched) at the smaller clown to keep him away.

I had three, all small, one became the boss and acted like this
to the two others, particularly when food was around. Assuming
you have a long tank in order to keep clowns (which can grow to a
foot long), you can help by putting pellets at both ends so both
get some. The bossy one is now 4" and the others are around half
his size. Curiously when I was given another smaller clown as a
gift the big one accepted it, so they now go round in two pairs.

I would get at least one more clown so the bullied one has a friend.
