Hey guys! My clowns are anemone and coral hogs. I haven't had luck with anemones due to nitrate issues (always hovering above 20 and cannot get them below that, no matter what I try). However, when the anemones are introduced into my tank, it takes my clowns a matter of hours to find them and begin battering them to death. Anyways, through my recent addition of a torch coral a few months ago, which has been doing great, they have started to host that.
Now, I know this is normal behavior for the clowns. Recently however, my torch has begun to extend a few of it's polyps way out into the air. These polyps are skinnier and just look...weird. The rest are normal length for the torch.
So my questions are, how much abuse can the torch really withstand from the clowns? So far, about a month after they started hosting it, it still looks good minus the extended polyps occasionally. Second, are the extended polyps (hopefully you can see them in the picture) normal? It puffs up large at night, which I am assuming is completely normal? Finally, how does a torch split? I swear the thing has almost doubled in size since I've bought it. Do they really grow THAT fast?
Thanks alot for your time.
