Evil clown eating my torch...

[WyoMt.Chef]

So I have a clown pair and the female Darwin clown has recently decided to start eating the polyp tips on my torch. Caught her in the act last night and I think it's been going on for 2 days as the torch was not extending.

So I'm curious if this continues... Is a 20 gallon ok for an occ. clown pair? If so I'm thinking of making it a nem/ clown tank. I have a 20 gallon IM nuvo concept peninsula that's is just sitting around and would enjoy another tank....

Never heard of a clown eating a torch perhaps they are trying to host it

Yeah I didn't think it was a fish causing it to recluse, until I saw her bite the little ball off one of it's recessed polyps. I'm not sure if she's trying for a host but it definitely wasn't liking it. It was incessant too she just started going for them one by one until I shooed her away with a turkey baster. Probably bit of around 4-6 tips.
I just added two new redfin fairy wrasses and a goby and she's shown 0 hostility towards any fish mates minus the occasional minor bullying of the male, but she's always done that.
