ghostface Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 i am sure that last night, my clarkis clown was feeding its new long tentacle anemone. i fed some chopped up mussel, and the clown would grab large pieces and gun it straight back into the middle of the anemone. it would emerge about 1/2 a second later, empty mouthed, and do the same again. pretty sure the fish wasnt eating the pieces, as it would have been around half or more of his body mass in mussel meat. this was after the fish had eaten a few pieces itself, which it had no problem swallowing out in the open. anyone seen this happening before?

Brianemone Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 normal behaviour in hosted clowns. the anemone benefits from the clowns and vseversa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
