hiya~
I have a question is it normal for a 6 line wrasse to be bold and try to go into a bta ,as my wrasse has gotten a bit bold. I went to feed my bta and the wrasse decided to try and steal the piece of raw shrimp from him

The female clown noticed what was going on and pushed the shrimp further down into the tentacle of the bta so the wrasse couldn't reach it but the wrasse is still trying to get it.

He has gotten stun several times but seems to don't care he is getting stun by the anemone. Is there a way to stop the wrasse from going in there and should I be concerned about the damage the stings can do to the 6 line wrasse I have.
 
I have a similar ordeal. My sixline will swim in and out of my pink tip when food isnt even around, although it started the same way. I feed the anenome and in the wrasse goes. My GSM doesnt mess with that anwenome so there is no problem feeding it. Put food in the current first so that the fish can eat on that while you start feeding your BTA. As for it hurting the wrasse I dont think so or it wouldnt go in there.
 
I have 2 six lines in my tank & they both swim right into the bta's.They will steal food from the bta's whenever they can.They definately give the carpets a lot more respect though.
