Clown hosting in Toadstool

[Ebmorri]

My female clown has been hosting in my toadstool for the past week or so and now he male is checking it out. However since my female has been there she’s been bloated to the point her eyes are popping out like Popeye. She still reacts and hides when I approach the tank and at night she swims out and sleeps in the corner with the male. I take this as the clown getting used to the stinging of the toadstool is that correct? Should I do anything or just wait and see?

Thanks in advance

No, the toadstool should not be stinging the clownfish. You might want to post a pic.

bloated how??

Fat Belly, eyes popping out, like everyone feels after Thanksgiving dinner. All other fish in the tank look healthy, not fat like her. I wish i could get a good pic but I can't.

Eggs maybe? And I am hoping her eyes arent actually "popping" out.

Her eyes look like she has popeye. At first I thought eggs but once that happened I startted to worry about it. I wasn't sure if the toadstoll might have a toxin that she has to get used to if shes gonna be hosting in it. And yep she almost looks like that puffer, I see you fell like that after thanksgiving too.

Any pic might help us a bit. I know how hard it is to catch these guys, maybe when shes relaxing in the toadstool.

 

[Twitterbait]

any pic is good enough. have you noticed anything else weird like cloudy eyes or powder on the clown?

Ok so I moved the toadstool and was able to get some pics. Here they are.

Thanks
