Feeding nem

[My67rt]

Do yall isolate your clowns when feeding your nems? My clown won't leave the nem alone when it is bringing the krill to its mouth. I usually keep the clown away with my turkey baster.

Yes. I do as you do.

I believe this is a natural thing.. you know the clown bringing food to the anemone and the anemone giving it protection. The clown wants to take credit for bringing the food or also might be making sure the food isn't poisoned lol! I've seen clowns take the food from the anemone swim in a circle and place the food back.

My male brings it to the anemone and the female takes it. Most of the time spitting it out and not eating it as I feed the fish first.

You know the females are the bosses. If its not good for her its not good for the anemone lol!
