Pink Tip poisoning zoos?

[chele]

Purchased a pink tip haitian anemone and a clownfish from LFS about 3 weeks ago. Trusted lady at the store that told me they would work together. Read enough in the forums to understand that's not goint to happen.

Problem I'm having is I have some zoos in this tank, and the anemone has moved under a rock next to them. This morning, some of my zoos won't open up. Could the anemone be releasing toxins? Or will anemone's attack them?

I don't know about the anemone poisoning the zoas but I DO know that some clowns will host pink tip Haitian anemones. I have two in my tank and the clown hosts in one of them constantly.

No toxin, the nem is stinging them to death.

Not very neighborly, are they. Mr. Rogers would be very disappointed in them.

I have 3 bta and one pink tip with 4 clowns, no one will go near the pink tip. He's the one always exploring and I have to move things out of his way or he will sting them. He's entertaining but not very neighborly.

OK, so there's a chance that the clown may warm up to the pink tip. That's cool. I read a few other posts about not forcing the anemone to move, so I picked up the zoos and moved them instead. Cost me a sting from "the enemy" anemone

So far, so good. Thanks for correcting my thinking about toxins versus nemocysts. Least I won't have to worry about him nuking the tank if he feels threatened.
