Has anyone had a gold stripe Maroon clown sweep the bottom so much that all the sand ends up on all your live rock. kill all your mushrooms and kill its anemone? And what to do.

Yep, my old GSM loved to do "burnouts" in the sand and kick it up everywhere and my new 4" female is 10x as bad!
 
My Black Ocellaris pair also used to have "burnouts" in the sand. They stopped when they moved into their anemone. All of my anemones were away from the sandbed, so try (if you can) moving yours higher if it's on a movable rock.
 
Thanks I am glad to know i am not the only one with a clown that sweeps to much. I guess I will get a turkey baster. and try to keep my next anemone up higher in my tank
 
The worst part for me is sand particles sticking to the fish sometimes and making me think its Ich....
