Hello,
I recently started a 60 gallon saltwater aquarium with a fluval 406 canister as the filter. The tank has only been up and running about 3 weeks. I tested the parameters pretty religiously and everything was ideal. I then went ahead and purchased a tomato clownfish and an a long tentacle anemone that it was symbiotically related with. I let the tank go for about 3 days and then purchased a second tomato clown. The new one has definitely shown itself to being the more dominant of the two. It has been almost been a week and the new one is still picking on the original clown. I fed them this morning and I noticed that the original clownfish only ate maybe 2 small flakes while the other was eating like crazy. The original clown's face was also kind of white near his mouth. Not really sure what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that the other day when I fed the anemone, the original clownfish did have quite a bit of the brine shrimp that I was feeding the anemone with. I'd really appreciate the help if someone knows about this! Thanks!
I also meant to say that the anemone was fed 2 days prior to this post!
