Hi, I just bought a new rbta and placed the anemone on a rock.

My tomato clown checked out the rbta and to my horror, started pulling the anemone legs and ate one by one...he ate 5 already

Are clowns known to eat anemone ??

According to book, clown will sometimes eat bit of anemone in the process of hosting them so that clown can aquire some *** from the anemone and trick anemone in thinking them as part of it.

But if ur clown starts to eat whole of anemone then something is wrong...

Then: my 4FT low tech selling off tank... (2006)

Now: (2014)

Not whole...

It dig it's head into the anemone, then started pulling off the legs ferociously , and swallowed the legs one by one...

I had to move the anemone away ..

Wads the rationale behind this action ?

Will the anemone be stressed because of this ?

Is it because I placed the new rbta near its old anemone which it is hosting ?

Wow..... I have never heard about that.

I had Clowns hosting in Anemone for the longest time but never did I notice such trends.

I thought they are supposed to be 'Friends' ????

Are you still able to capture it on video? That's really rare!
