Clown fish keeps poking at Duncan frag

[mbarber87]

I have a clown that recently is just poking at the Duncan’s. It’s only a frag with 4 heads and was extended almost all day looking great, but ever since I’ve been catching the clown poke at him, he’s been nearly retracted for days.

is there anything that I can do to get him to lay off? At this point I’d rather have the coral than the Duncan but I’d rather have both if there’s a trick or something.

The ******* won’t even let me take a picture of the Duncan without getting inthe way

Clowns are dumb and it appears it's trying to make an anemone out of the Duncan. They will do the same with toadstool leathers, hammer coral and even xenia coral.
may be a consideration to get it an anemone even a cheap condylactus when the tank is at least 5-6 months running.

Haha love it. But mine looks like it hates the clown. I took the Clown out and put it in my quarantine for the night and the duncan opened up BEAUTIFULLY, longer than I've seen him open in almost a week lol
