Anyone ever seen something similar. I’ve been concerned about a Goni frag in my display for about a week now it only opens at night. Well my fist day off from work I was watching it throughout the day an noticed that my female clown is almost constantly nipping at the polyps. Has anyone seen anything like that before? I dipped it in an iodine based dip as a precaution and placed it in an area away from my clowns hangout. fingers crossed
 
Goni isn’t having any of it. I hope the clown gets the hint asap. I don’t have a nem, didn’t know they nibbles on them.
 
Unfortunately that is not an uncommon clown behavior. Is it possible to rearrange things in your tank to distract the clown?
