A. sandaracinos in wellso brain

[HndMafia]

My silly orange skunks (captive bred) are trying to use my wellso brain as a host. They haven't actually damaged the brain (yet) but it hasn't been fully inflated in quite some time. How can I make them leave it alone? Or do I need to find the clowns a new home (as in another aquarium)? I've tried moving the brain around, but they just find it within hours. I have a gbta in the tank they've never shown any interest in...went looking for an lta today but no luck. Your suggestions and advice are appreciated!

My clowns also host my brain. They wouldn't host anything until I put the brain in the tank. How big is the welso? My brain is 6 inches retracted and 12
plus inches inflated and it does not seem to be bothered by the clowns.

approximately 3 inches retracted and 6-7 inches fully inflated

Mine retracts from time to time if the clowns get a little frisky but mostly it's ok. Not sure what to say. The only other thing I had another fish nipping at the welso which caused it to always be retracted. That fish has a new home now.

What other fish are in the tank.

It is most definitely the clowns irritating the wellso, no other fish can get near it
