So I have 4 clowns, but the largest one, two, maybe two and a half inches, is biting the anemone's tentacles. She is taking the smaller ones into her mouth, like she is trying to eat them, bites on them, then spits them out. Is this normal? The bubble tip can't be happy with this behavior. Should I get rid of her? I've had this bubble tip for a couple of months and I feed it almost every three to four days, so its not a baby, but I want it to open and be comfortable, what do you suggest?
