I've ample lighting - 2 x t8s and 2 x t5 power compacts - its only a 125 litre. for an update the anemone ended up expelling all zoos due to the clown harassment and simply couldnt eat solid foods. I've removed the clowns but too late for the anemone - had tpo remove it as was starting to spit...

Ace, that sounds good. Its started to take a wander at the moment so fingers crossed it finds somewhere nice to settle. Still concerned about the clowns behaviour though, they do harass the anemone every other day until it 'turns its pockets (stomach inside) out' Greed little things, if the...

I've finally managed to get a scrap of squid in the anemone today - thankfully as its looking a trifle weak and ill. Dosed with selcon so hoping it will help a little. How would I target the anemone with such small food? The problem at the moment is that its tentacles cant hold on to stuff...

I've just happily fed the anemone - however once again the female clown harasses the mouth and causes it to giveup the food. Its not the anemone not wanting to eat, is this recognised or just from dense greedy tank bred clowns

That sounds great I'm feeding squid which its not had for a few weeks. But this sounds all good. It has a little to go yet as very pale but fingers crossed. Cheers for the support

Still after some help with this one. BTA back to normal now but hasn't eaten for a while. I think possibly due to clown harassing. I suspect its spitting food out once the clown try to get in and eat some tasty excrement. ANy ideass if this is what is happening and how I can try to feed better?

Yes its about 8-10 times the size of my tiny clowns. Seems to have recovered now but mouth looks a bit unhappy not quite closed.

Hello Bit of an issue I've had a BTA inthe tank for about 3 weeks now and its doing well. Over the weekend the two false percs I have - finally hosted so I was pleased as punch. However, just now the large female has been harassing the anemone mouth - swimming into it as if to force it open. The...

Damnation, I need them to explore more and notice my new BTA! the larger noticed it a few days ago and stopped to stare but seems to have forgotten since. I hope when it settles properly they'll notice.

Just a quick one, I've had my two clowns for just over a year now. They don't seem to exhibit behaviour that is associated with clowns so I'm assuming they're inbred or autistic ;). They are both about 2 inch now, they don't swim in and out of rock, nor are they that curious. They both just...

I've PH at about 8.0 at the moment. Its taken me a while to get it this high. I'm hoping to get it to 8.2, however it keeps dropping back. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this I've tried a product called Instant 8.2 - or somesuch but it bounces back after a few days.

Hm, new hermits are all fine. After over a week of test bait, all hermits fine and no suspicious noises/movment I decided to go for it and add a little cleaner once again. Come morning there was no evidence of him at all - that was over a week ago now. Any other suggestions? I can't find any...

Hermit?? Not got any. I'm going to get a few snails this eve to see how they fare. 3 nights of bait and stakeouts have produced nothing so fingers crossed.

Hm, nothing in the traps this morning - not even a bristleworm...

Ive only 2 clowns at the moment. I've got a skimmer (redsea), po4 is virtually 0 as lots of macro algae. KH is 140 (I think from memory). PH I've recently raised to 8.1 ish. Not too sure on Ca. As for clicking - I've thought of that as had heard some suspect noises very very irregularly...
