Funny Bubbles the Anemone

[Trevorallen]

After 10 years with salt water I bought my first Anemone. I thought he would avoid the air stone but after a month he moved right over and can't get enough, like they're tickling him. Probably nothing new for Fishlore veterans but I was fascinated. Think I'll call him Bubbles.

Anemones are pretty cool, really! I watched a guy at the LFS try pulling one out of the tank one day for a customer....what a fight it put up. Stubborn creatures!

They are cool! What I don't like though is at feeding time the clowns are mean, diving between its feelers for food.I thought they were supposed to get along.

Awesome anemone! It looks very healthy. I believe it is a Condy and you may already know this, but that type of anemone typically doesn't host clownfish in the wild. Your clowns may take a liking to it anyway.

For the feeding problem, you could try cutting a plastic bottle in half and putting it over the anemone at meal time to keep the clowns away. I have to do that with my Goniopora sometimes.
