Hi gang,
thought I'd post up a question that the lfs has no clue about....
First a little background.
I have a 10gal setup with about 10lbs of LR and a couple of corals, a camel shrimp, a watchman goby, requiste crabs and snails, etc., and finally, a pair of percs and a sebae anemone.
The clowns are quite healthy, very active and the anemone hosts them just fine. In fact, the clowns are most always found wiggling around in the anemone unless they're eating.
Problem is that whenever I feed the anemone (been trying cut-up silver sides) the clowns will take the food out of his tentacles and leave it in the middle of the tank.
I'm afraid the anemone will eventually just not survive.
I've thought about trying to cover the anemone with some kind of container with small holes in it while feeding to keep the clowns off, but have yet to try it.
Any suggestions out there?
tia,
todd
