are my clown too aggressive toward new anemone

[steph46]

I am curious is it possible that clowns can be too aggressive w/ an anemone. I just brought home a new BTA 2 days ago all seems well. Noticed this afternoon the clowns beginning to messa round in it. Now they are both all into it. Cannot get enough of it. What exactly do they do for each other??? Oh yeah the anemone has now moved about 4 inches since clowns began messing in it.

Yes they can be too aggressive and can also kill your anemone. Especially maroons, they are known anemone killers when the anem is close to or the same size as its host. Its recomended that for maroons your anem should be many times larger than the fish to prevent this. This isnt partial to just maroons but its heard of alot with them.
