Hey Everyone,
My clownfish have been a breeding pair hosting in the same rose anemone for over seven years. This past summer however, my tank overheated and my anemone bleached. Although it is still alive, the anemone is not expanding to more than one inch across (it was around five before the bleaching). I have read up on how to care for the anemone, and believe it is starting to come back from the brink of death through heavy feeding. My problem is that my clowns are not nearly as patient as I am in waiting for the anemone to heal, and have moved to my long tentacle plate coral. I can not necessarily say that I blame them, the coral is about 10 inches across and has fantastic flowing tentacles perfect for rolling around in. My question is three-fold.
First: Will my clowns hurt the plate by hosting in it?
Second: Can my plate coral hurt the clowns in any way?
Third: If either of these is a yes, how can I coax the clowns back to their old anemone?
Thanks a ton!!
