how the hell?!?!

[spkdtch]

is my butterfly fish picking at my tube anemone and not getting stung?!
it swims over to it and looks at it for awhile then nips at it
the anemone is starting to shrink up and retreat into its tube and the butterfly just comes right back and keeps nipping, it was doing that to my urchin before i moved the butterfly to a different tank but i wasnt quick enough, the urchin died
what the hell should i do? i dont want to move the butterfly since i just moved it two days ago and dont want to stress it anymore

Prolly get rid of the tube anemone.....they can be fish killers anyway.....

ill keep the anemone, it hasnt given any problems, more often than not they dont harm fish, im asking if its common for butterflies to pick at anemones, i was looking at getting a bubbletip tomorrow

 

[coralreefer]

i would advise against it. if the butterfly picks at that one, it will most likely pick at a bubble tip

thats a shame, i guess ill move it back to a differnt tank, thanks
