My Bulb anemone is getting close to my corals will he hurt them? How do you get your Clown to go into it? How do you know when it is hungry? One last one How long will it keep moving around my tank?
Hard to say. I really depends on the type of corals. My BTA has never bothered any of my corals. Xenia is not likely to win any toxic warefare battle.My Bulb anemone is getting close to my corals will he hurt them?
You don't. It is really up to the anemone to "invite" the clown. Some symbiotic pairs occur very quickley in the home aquarium, some take longer and some never happen at all. You just never know.How do you get your Clown to go into it?
Anemones are not filters feeders. They will capture their food from the water column. You can target feed it every once in a while but it is really not needed (or recommended). It should get what it needs at tank feeding time providing you are feeding a meaty diet. It will gain most of its nutritional needs from your light. I have never had the need to directly feed any of my anemones.Now do you have to hand feed it or will it filter feed?
