My nemo has been acting different for last few days. Didn't eat anything last two days when i fed (i feed once a day). Kind of goes around in a small circle over and over yesterday and also its been hosting on green star polyp coral with very little movement (about 3 hours yesterday) and been doing that this morning. Not sure what is going on.
 
Are you saying he just started a relationship with the coral? Because if that's the case, all it's doing is acting like a hosted clown. Once a clown pics a nem or coral it usually spends some time getting used to their sting if the relationship is not strictly natural (like yours) and they will stay close to it and swim circles around their host for... well, forever.
 
My clown fish did the exact same thing. He has taken to my star polyp colony. It was amazing to watch them become aquatinted. All is well.
 
He just started doing this few days ago. Concerning is the fact that he hasn't eaten when fed last two days. Did yours not eat either?
 
It didn't spend that much time before. Today he has been in it all day long. And now is third day it hasn't eaten when fed.
