clown attacking my torch!!

[samuel_l]

my clownfish has been nipping at the ends of my torch coral for a week or two now and the coral will not fully open up anymore.
it looks like the clown has bit off some of the ends of the torches arms, it will barely extend at all, it there any way to stop this??

 

[schadiest1]

what type of clown is it? does he already have an anmeone?

 

[samuel_l]

it's a maroon clown, he is hosting another anemone and also a large brain
he isn't hosting the torch, i have never seen him go near it except to bite at it

Torches won't last very long with constant abuse ... IMO either the clown or the torch should be removed.

hes just saying hello, lol

Are you sure he's nipping or is he trying to host the torch?? I have a clown that hosts in a torch...
