Maroon clown & Anenome

[kenn157]

Hey guys, I just got a maroon Clown he's probably around 3" long. I have an anenome (bubble tip) in the tank. The anenome has been in the tank for quite a while with no clown fish of any kind with it. When I added the maroon clown, within a few hours he was "nuzzling" up to the anenome. The anenome has closed up almost completly just the tip is open, which is where the maroon clown is nuzzling. Is this like some sort of courting going on? As far as I know the anenome has never had a clown before. Will the anenome give in to the advances of the clown in time or does it just want it out of its "hair" ? Its been 3 days since the clown arrived.

The anemone will get used to the clown, usually pretty quickly. Probably less than a week I would guess... Maybe faster depending on how attentive the clown is.
