Maniac clowns

All of a sudden my clowns decided they don't like corals close to their anemone.
A couple days ago my Mike Accardi blue stag was "rolled" off the rocks, over/thru the anemone and was laying on the sand. I couldn't figure out how it fell. It's mounted to a nice size piece of rubble (about 6"x2"). Came home from work yesterday and here we go again. Laying on the sand...and not looking too good. A couple tips are broken off and there are a few spots where it was stung by the anemone.
So I come home from work today. The blue stag is OK (I rearranged some rock so it can't move), but my big tan acro colony is teetering over the anemone, a piece about 3" is broken off a tip, my tricolored validia is buried under the acro colony and a tan acro frag was rolled off the rocks, thru the anemone and laying in the sand. I just moved some rock to stabilize the colony and put the valadia back where is was. As I am sitting here, the evil clowns are still trying to move that colony.
Damage so far: blue stag-tips broken and some bleaching from anemone sting. Tan acro colony-3" frag broken off and clowns still trying to move it. Tricolor valadia-looks OK so far, just no polyp extension yet. Tan frag-no polyp extension and looks like it may have gotten stung pretty good.

I have no idea why all of a sudden the clowns are moving stuff. Both are doing it too...and the female is huge and can move a pretty nice sized rock.

They have been spawing every 3 weeks for a couple years. I don't think that's the problem.

Sorry to hear that Larry. Hopefully it`s just a temporary thing. I`d like to know what Ray asked about what kind of clowns?

Clarkii clowns. I had them about 3 years. Here's a thread I posted about 15 months ago when I still had the 75 set up.
Caught in the act !!!!

They hatch about every 2 weeks. Free food for the rest of the tank.

Fish are weird that way, aren't they. One week they're model citizens, next week you'd think they went off their meds or something. Hmm... sounds like some people I work with...
