    Couldn't find the forum for Anenomes-so I posted this here.

    Today, I noticed a large mushroom half engulfed by my RBTA!

    Only once I have seen my Black Sebae Clown- (I've been told it's actually a Clark), take pieces of Green Seaweed and give it to the Anenome- but the anenome did not hold on to the algae pieces, happened twice in about a 2 min. period.

    Sure seems to like the Discoma Mushrooms.

    Now, if he'd only move around, and FEAST of whole areas of I have on them!-That would be cool!

    Very cool! I'm assuming the clown brough the shroom to the RBTA and it wasn't the RBTA moving to a new spot?

    If so, your mushrooms may get taken by the clown regularly. It's a learned behavior I would think.

    I didn't see how it got there; I think the shroom was floating around as they sometimes do, and ended up there maybe. I haven't seen my clown carrying one before.
    And the Nem hasn't moved in a long time. It's right around the corner on the same rock as dozens of large mushrooms however.

    The last time I tried to mail some, they didn't make it- too cold right now.

    If you PM me when it gets warmer, I might could send you some.
