Unusual? Problem

PhotoTJ · 07-22-2006, 06:34 PM

My maroon clown has never had an anemone, I finally put one in for him. He seems to have gone nuts, he loves it so much it cannot attach itself to anything, and he rolls it around the tank. I don't want him to kill it, anything I can do? Anyone else have this problem?

WELCOME to REEFLAND !

Thanks for posting!

I would separate or take the anemonefish out of the aquarium until the anemone settles in. Hopefully you have a hospital or quarantine tank you can use for this. Alternatively, you may want to partition your tank for a while with the fish on one side and the anemone on the other side until the anemone settles in.
