Clowns Poking At Rocks

For a while now my clowns have been poking at rocks and it seems like their eating whatever they are poking. My tank is 3 months old and i have never seen pods but plan on adding them. So i don't think their eating those, and i havent seen any other critters on the rocks.

Any idea what they could be eating off the rocks?

 

Not sure if clowns eat bristle or flat worms... Far as Im aware they hitch hike on some live rock?

 

I don't know, my clown does that too. I never see anything to eat...

 

yea i havent seen any hitchhikers except a dead worm a wihle ago. The clowns are poking at the rocks now and are pretty much doing it throughout the day. They face downwards to look at the rocks, then it's like they see something and then the poke at it, and i'm sure their eating whatever they have found, and it's basically on all the rocks

 

maybe i have special clouwns

 

No, my clown does it too! No worries, your clowns are a-okay!

 

ohh haha i miss read it's just strange, i wish i would know what their eating, sometimes as they go to get whatever their eating they twitch, like its hard to pull it off the rock

 

they are eating algae and pods

 

just because u haven't seen them doesn't mean they are not there lol did u add live sand to ur tank or live rock?

 

if their eating pods could that be why i have never seen any swimming around in the tank, i've even looked in at night an hour after lights went off and never saw any so i figured for some reason my tank was podless.

Eating at algae would be nice, i have a bunch of it right now, they were doing this before i got the GHA bloom so maybe they were eating all my pods
