Clownfish Harrassing Anemone

I recently introduced a pair of snowflake ocellaris clowns to my haddoni tank and they quickly made their home in it. This red carpet has been established for about 3 months. Problem is, they seem to enjoy the mouth of the anemone a LOT. Even though the anemone has a tight mouth, they are constantly trying to wedge themselves inside of it. I was feeding the anemone last night with a small bit of shrimp and the clowns would constantly peck at the shrimp AND the mouth of the anemone. This is after I've already fed them. :mad:

Will this behavior change or do you think it's best that I isolate the clowns to avoid stressing the anemone.
 
I have the same problem with my clownfish and haddoni. I have to leave my hand in the tank while feeding the anem so the clowns don't steal the food. I don't think mine do any real damage to the anem
