    Check this out:eek::



    I fed my duncans today and like always I had to keep my little feeder wand in the keep the clowns from ripping to food from their mouths.

    Well I come in to see that about 5 hours after feeding! The duncan colony is expelling waste I think but getting stressed from the clown ramming its head into the duncans face!:-[

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!:-/

    Oh welcome to my world!

    She wants it moved and ASAP. I would move it, because she will find a way.

    So they won't ever just leave it alone?

    It is actually my male that lives in the anemone!

    If the male is doing it even more reason to move it. He is the one that does all the serious cleaning prior to spawning.

    It just does not fit there any longer, can 't you see that Claic;D

    It may stress the duncan and honestly I would not be a bit surprised if they tried more severe methods.

    No it does not have to be done immediately if you want your duncan dead. Mine has became so smart that it kicks the sand from underneath the coral, then moves from bottom of the coral and pushes it over. Yea, i lost half of the coral. Not fun! :(
