Hello.
I just joined the website because I found out there were some problems going around with my Clownfish and a new Anemone in my 10 gallon nano tank. The problem is I got a new 10 gallon tank and started off with already cycled water packages that I bought online at petco.com. Its been set up for a week So the water was already cycled and I have pieces of live rock in the tank and in my filters. I have 2 filters. I 45 gallon filter (Over filtration is never bad) which is quite loud and a 15 Gallon filter that I use for night time. My lighting is about 30 7000K LEDS and 3 Blue Leds. I keep that on for 12 Hours a day. I have a metal Halide lamp that I put on for about 6 hours a day. At night there are 3 actinic blue LED thats on. The water quality if fine (ammonia,phosphates,nitrates, blah blah blah). I just recently bought a small 2-3 Inch corn anemone. Im not sure what kind that is but i have pics. It is open but i just think something's not right. Its firmly stuck its self on a bad position on the side of a pice of rock with half on the rock and half of it stuck to mid-air. As soon as i placed it in the tank, The clown fish has been rubbing and lying on it ALOT. Im not sure if its stressing out the anemone and I really hope that its doing fine. Please give some replies. Thx!

You should not put an anemone in a new tank. Especially not if you are new to saltwater.
The anemone is bleached. What are your parameters? "fine" doesn't really say much.
 
well im not here to knock ya, ive had a green LTA in my tank for a couple months. bought a pair of clarki clowns. they killed it within 2 weeks......

but I to answer your question, the clown prolly isn't killing it, but the anemone is def under stress from the new tank and the clown is just aiding into the stress factor...
