Clowns hurting anemone?

[flux]

Has anyone ever had to pull a clown from their tank for being to hard on an anemone? My new BTA is about the length of my tomato and ever since he moved in the anemone has been staying kind of balled up. I think its because he’s so big in comparison. Think I might trade him in for a little skunk that was living in it when I bought it.

Could very well be that the clown is too big. IMO the anemone should have a diameter of at least twice the length of the clown.

I agree with viper. The same size... not gonna work at all. Clowns are actually pretty rough on anemones.. mine rams himself into mine and he'll even bite its tentacles... not sure what he is trying to do
