Help with a clownfish!!!

So I have a pair of clown fish one a frostbite clown (female) and one domino clownfish (male). My female is pretty good sized she is about 1" 1/2"-2" and pretty fat! I have a 150 tall so its 48" long, and she is a huge bully!!! We just realized it was her but she is killing any new resident to the tank!!! any ideas on how to "correct" or help mitigate the aggression?
