A question for the gigantea owners out there.
My juvenile clowns (each approximately 1.5") are trying to bury themselves into my gigantea's mouth. This happens right after I feed it. Is this normal clown behavior? After the food is gone, they still try to burrow in. I'm worried that this behavior is stressing out the anemone.
I've had the anemone for 10 days now, and it exhibited the tell-tale signs of impending death -- inflating and deflating, mouth gaping, etc. My fingers are crossed that's it's on the road to recovery since it now inflates like clockwork during the day (but still deflates at night). I've been feeding it small quantities of mysis and krill, which it takes in. It's also very sticky for the most part. Today it ate a small piece of shrimp.
Should I try to remove the clowns to allow the anemone to acclimate? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
