I have a yellow sebae anemone with purple tips ( purchase it,it was white and this was before i read that it had not real chance of survival), any ways, i have two ocallris clown fish and a clarkii clownfish in a 29 gallon tank with the above metioned anemone. had the ocallaris in there first as they were not taking to it i put a clarkii in there and i found a home for the others, but before i pulled them out of my tank it got weird.
The clarkii dove right into the anemone and it seems that now when he is not in the anemone, he is swimming beside the other two and seems to be trying to coax the bigger of the two into the anemone
 
It is odd. No fighting no real aggression, yet the ocellaris have pushed the clarkii out and taken ovee the anemone
 
Ok the ocellaris evicted the clarkii. Anyone have an opinion as to wether I should pull him out in order to prevent this passive aggressive behavior ( will it stress the anemone) or not worry about it
 
Going to try ro pull the Clarkii out in the morning, but when I fot home from work had an ocalleris and the clar In the anemone togethed side by side
 
Probably not likely but possible. They may lay eggs and fertilize them but it is doubtful that the eggs will be viable.
 
last night the clarkii took over the anemone and the ocellaris were at the top under the filter again. if the ocelaris go back to the anemone again i will probably try to catch and remove the clarkii
