Hello!
I have a younger tank (about 4 months old), some zoas, ricordea, some GSP, and a Purple Frilly Gorg, my gorg is probably the happiest of all the coral, with the exception of shedding (I assume to dump the algae growth that won't come off with my turkey baster), however my issue here is, that my clownfish has decided that the gorg is now home. As you might imagine, my gorg doesn't appreciate it. Every time the clown brushes it, he retracts his polyps for a day or more, reopens, does it again.
Is there anything I can do, at all, to sort of push my Clown away from this behavior? My clown does the whole brush against it, back up into it, etc etc. I have another clown that is a week away from completing his QT routine, and then he'll get introduced, and I'm just worried that my gorg will completely shutdown if both clowns keep messing with it. I don't think I'm ready for a nem, nor is my tank, really. So I'm trying to avoid trying that, I only have a 32g biocube with steves LEDs.
