Maroon Spitting Out CC - Why?

[aquacat]

My Maroon Clown picks up pieces of my crushed coral and drops them all over the place. On top of coral and my live rock. He looks like he is having a good time. Also he seems to rub on the CC with his tail in a fast manner. Does anyone else have a clown that does this? And if so, Do you know why?

Yeah, maroons will do that. Mine has a corner of the tank "his territory" that is kept clear of substrate. Every water change I move it back and before I'm done, he's picking it up and throwing it all over the tank. Mine also won't allow me to rearrange the rock near his spot or he'll knock it over. Some people have had problems will them creating sand storms in their tank. Think of it as entertainment.
