Evict clownfish

[bkhunt]

How can I convince my 9 clownfish that the torch coral is not their proper home? The are getting stung by it and have some marks on their bellies and fins. I do have a LTA in their that they all ignore. Only thing I can think to do would be remove the torch for a while until the decide to move. Then I wonder how long it would be until they went back.

Yeah remove if possible, hope they take to the Nem but all 9 is a long shot.

Is the torch affected?

Torch is for the most part happy. I is fully open with it tentacles all extended. There are roughly 20 heads so the are not really over stressing it just they are getting “burn marks” on them.

I am going to get a second LTA here hopefully in the near future. I lost my dinner plate size one when I had velvet outbreak and killed all but 1 fish. That anemone hosted 7 clowns at that point with no issues.
