Clown and anemone

[enseng]

Hi guy,

I just wondering whether will clown fish kill it's anemone? I observed that my clown keep squeezing itself to the anemone even if e anemone doesn't open,always snatch e mysis shrimp from e anemone instead of feeding it..there is one time i saw it squeezing so hard to the anemone in order to snatch e food..worried tat it will damage e anemone as it is swallowing e food..

Hi brother,

Have the same experience, to my observation, this is common for clown fish and it's habit especially when they are insecure and the anemone become small.

Cheers! happy reefing!
