clownfish savior

[FishyFarr]

ok so were making dinner tonite.
I happened to look at my tank while cooking over the stove.
I notice my clarkii doing a face first dive into the BTA
I look closer when I see him struggling and going nowhere.
to my surprise his whole head is into the anemones mouth and he/she (the bigger one) is going nowhere.

I quickly pull of the top and pull (the anemone did not want ot let go ) anyways I pull the clownfish out of the anemone
clownfish runs away anemone shrinks way down.

about 20 mins go by and the anemone is now scrubbing a very small anemone.

anyone ever heard of this? should I target feed big shrimp ? because I have wathced the clownfish feed small shrimp to the anemone?

anyone ?

Yes.Ive heard of anemones eating fish.However,very rare with BTA's IME.I would feed it.No now though.Wait till it inflates back up.And yes the clownfish could have layed eggs.If they did,the male would gaurd them.
