I bought two anemone with my two clowns. The clowns were the only clowns in the tank at the store with many anemone. Within weeks one of the clowns got bigger and was rather bossy to the smaller one altho it was obvious she loved him as she'd never let him get to far from her or she'd go get him. Even tho at the pet store both clowns dove in and out of both the anemones I bought they only bonded with one of the anemone. I had put on at one end of the tank and one at the other as that was the way they were set up in the tank at the store. The bigger clown dominated the anemone but let him come sleep with her. They were so wonderful to watch. And then the anemone got sick and got smaller and smaller until it died. It was awful!
The other anemone is doing great and looks wonderfully healthy and I think has grown. I don't want to move him as he is doing so well where he is, but my clowns won't go to far from thier spot or territory. I have a 75 gallon 1 1/2 year old reef tank, live rock and sand -- well it's in the growing process. Should I move the anemone or find another for my clowns is my delema?
I have had an algae bloom and the clowns have taken to a spot of rock that they treat just like an anemoe. They sleep on it and rub and snuggle it and tell everyone else to stay away from it. So I never scrub the algeae off that spot. It's rather sweet but I wonder if they miss having an anemone.
I guess I'm long winded but I just find all these guys so fasinating and think everyone will want to know every little detail.
Thanks
Betsy
