Clown & Anemone

[dave reed]

MY GOLD STRIPE MAROON CLOWN FINALLY CAME OUT FROM THE ANEMONE AFTER ABOUT FOUR DAYS. HE LOOKS PRETTY RAGGED. HIS FINS HAVE SLICES IN THEM AND HE APPEARS EXHAUSTED. THE ANEMONE IS NEW AND LOOKS HEALTHY. CAN AN BUBBLE ANEMONE HAVE ANYTHING THAT MY CLOWN OR OTHER FISH COULD GET? THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF FOR THE SLASHES IN THE CLOWNS FINS IS BECAUSE MY ANEMONE IS KINDA IN WITH THE LIKE ROCK AND MY CLOWNS FINS MAY BE HITTING ON THE LIVE ROCK. STRESS IS SETTING IN.

Not likely that the anemone has anything to do with it. What type anemone is it?
Did you just get the clown and anemone? If the fins are ragged, it could well be aggression from another fish.

THE ANEMONE IS A BUBBLE ANEMONE. I'VE HAD THE ANEMONE FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS. THE CLOWN I'VE HAD ABOUT SIX WEEKS. HAVEN'T SEEN NONE OF MY OTHER FISH MESS WITH THE CLOWN. HE IS THE BIGGEST FISH IN MY TANK.
