small anemone big clown

[BIG_RED91791]

If an anemone is smaller that the clown, will the clown kill it by trying to host it? Im not sure how big the anemone is but its not bigger than the clown. The anemones never got a chance to open up since i released them last night and the clown is all over them, and now they are almost completely closed up.I was also woundering if they will live under 130w pcs with two false percs? any info would greatly be appreciated.

It is a possibility, that happened to me many years ago. The anemone was actually a little bit bigger, but it was a pair of clowns.

i had a seabay and it stayed closed all the time then it bleached out to stress from a bigger clown so i would say yes but thats just my opinion

it highly depends on what species the anemone is, and how close to the lights it can get.

A BTA should be OK, others iffy
