No. They are like us. When people get married they live in the same house. Mated clownfish want to live together in the same anemone.

But if the anemone is too small for two clowns, they may beat it to death. The anemone should be about 3x the size of one clown, a bit more for pairs.

oh my are you kidding, i mean the anemone is big but it seems as though the fish keep moving in a jerking motion and are kind of digging it deep into the sand

I dont think you have anything to worry about. It may appear that they are beating the crap out of the anemone, but they are probably just making sure they're covered. We were worried when we added a BTA and our clown, who was fairly large, looked like she was abusing it. She eventually settled down and finally let her mate in and he did the same thing. Now they are both happy. Heres a pic of the couple in their 1 bedroom anemone. They visit the smaller clone every so often, but this is theirs.

Resize the pictures to 500 x 500 pixels or smaller with any photo/image modifying program on your computer. Then save them as *.jpg *.jpeg *.bmp or *.gif format. Then on the page where you make a new reply above the submit reply button there is a button for browse. Click that and look for your pic. You can only post 1 pic per reply.
Or if you'd like you can email the pics to me and I can resize them and post them for you. jslok@comcast.net
