Default Wandering anemone

I know what ya mean. I have a feather duster that my tomatoe clown resides

the least bit interested in those. Anyone else have a clown stay in a
feather duster?


We have two clowns in the tank sold as a pair but who don't exactly
like each other. Since I put the bubble anemone in the larger
dominant fish is utterly ecstatic and spends all his time diving into
it, at a level that may well annoy the thing I guess. But having an
anemone has massively increased his territorial instincts. He's
beating up both the other clown and a cleaner shrimp now, in case they
try to go near his anemone, aaargh!!

Tonight's chosen position for the thing... I eventually pulled out
the pulse coral it was half sitting on, *after* only one head had been
killed. Today it left that rock, so we now have a bare shelf sitting
in the light :-). Guess what for - the new Sun Coral I put in at the
weekend, he's parked his ass right on that. And it was just starting
to open and feed. I'm losing my interest in anemones fast, lets hope
he moves on tonight.
