If the condy settles to close to any of your corals you might want to relocate the corals

I once heard of a maroon clown using a condy as a host but it's very rare. I had 2 that got very large and my fish were afraid of them, wouldn't go near them.

I have 2 clowns that think they're sharks

NO you can't - the pair you have now will probably kill a new clown you put in, just my opinion and im sure others will add their .02

I should have asked earlier--how long is the tank been set up- what kind of lights do you have-what size tank is it- what fish and inverts are in the tank now

Well first welcome to the boards. As long as you have the correct lighting to keep anemones there is no need to spot feed as they get 90% of their food from the lights. T5 or mh lights are needed to keep this anemone. Also your tank needs to be well established for 6 months or more. If you are...

Did you test the water in July to make sure you got a cycle? You should have put in a few raw deli shrimp to jump start the cycle when you first set up the tank. You might be just be getting a cycle now by adding a clean up crew that size. Test your water parameters and post if you can.

what kind of anemone is it?

If the anemone is new to your tank, give it time. It's getting acclimated to it's new home and lighting as long as your tank is well established and water parameters are up to par. If the anemone is moving, make sure your powerheads and filter intakes are covered.

Post more info about your tank--How long is the tank been set up-water parameters-how long have you had the clown

Andezzzy, where in Pa do you live????

If you can't get rid of them local, I'm sure there's alot of people on here that will gladly pay the shipping cost to get some of these. Kenya trees- mushrooms-yumas-green star polyps----I'd be willing to pay the shipping as i'm sure others would. . Let me know what shipping would be to 18517...

All anemones will move if the lighting and water conditions are not right.

It may be a security thing, at night the clown feels safer when sleeping in the anemone. If it is threatened or insecure in the daytime or when the lights are on, it will probably go to the anemone for safety. just my .02

As Flower said, give it time to adjust to your tank and lights.
