OMG… How did that happened???

So far my clownfish has no interest in the bubble tip...

I guess my clownfish has a change of heart… I caught one of them trying to host on the anemone this morning...

I hope both survives!

Note to all newbies readers: When buying zoanthid colony, please check thoroughly for zoanthid eating nudibranches. Especially it's eggs! Spiral-like or O shaped (white) egg cluster found on the "stem" of the polyp. I have had this colony of zoanthid for 3-4 months now and had been doing freshwater dips almost every month to remove these nudibranches. After every dip, I will be able to remove these pests but the eggs are difficult to remove as there are bound to be some that will escape your eyes. After the dip the zoas will recover and the zoas will blossom until those eggs hatch and you will find the tentacles of the zoas starts going missing. Finally, you will spot the egg clusters again. I'm struggling to break this cycle and it seems the solution left is to sacrifice this zoanthid colony.
