    Hello, Well when i first put my new clown in with my old one they fought for a while but ended up in the anemone together, now after the power outage my new one is mostly in the anemone but not my origonal clown, any reasons why? maybe they did not form a pair or...well my first one really only went into the anemone when i got the second so...well thats it...:(

    hmm well its night again...and the one is in the anemone and my first it swimming around kinda...when ever he gets close to the anemone the other one kinda come out of it a little as if to warn ppl not to come...does this mean that they will not form a pair? should i move the one that dont go into the anemone into my 55 gal or should i just wait?

    well if i wait a while and they still dont pair up should i move the one that dont go into the anemone into my main tank or...will they be ok in the 12..its weird they somtimes swim together and used to share the anemone but since the power outage the one goes into the aneomone and the other just swims, at night it sleeps in one of the recovering xenia colonies.

    one is larger than the other, when the anemone moves they r both in it for like maybe a minute but then the larger one kicks the little one out

    yes my female does the same thing but in the bigger anemone they stay together so maybe they need a bigger home. ;D
