few questions: hosting, feeding, pairing

[jarrod13]

I have a pair (not mated) of occ. clowns, an orange and a black.

1. The orange one hosted my gonipora (flowerpot) which is now dead and removed, but before it died i moved it to the back of the tank to try to discourage the clown, which didnt work. About the same time i got an LTA and placed where the gonipora originally was, well it has been weeks and the clown is acting like the gonipora is still there, trying to host it. He will just stay there hovering in that area and stirring up the sand. both the clowns have acted curious about the nem but never gone in it. what should i do?

2. I have been feeding the nem pieces of krill about once a week, is this correct?

3. I've had the clowns for a while now and they dont seem to like each other that much. I think the problem is that their almost the same size. When i bought them I didnt realize there had to be a significant size difference. The orange one is a little bigger and seems to be more dominate, should i get rid of the black one and get a smaller one? (he seems to be a little dumb anyways, always spaced out)

thanks in advance, i hope to get a lot of replies

1) Time is all that really fix it. A while ago I sold an LTA that my B&W O was hosted by, the clown stayed in that spot for about a month, then started to come around.

2) What sort of anemone is it? Once a week is more then I feed, I feed about once every 3 weeks. They do get whatever fish food they catch.

3) I would give it more time, as long as they are fighting too much they might work it out.
