Hi all,

I received a RBTA a few days and my female clown immediately hosted it... quite aggressively.

It did nip a tentacle off, which I read happens when getting used to the sting, however, ever since one side of the anemone has been shrunk. It seems fine, but I can't find anything on this. Anyone have an experience with this?

She’’m extend again, no big deal. I have a couple that have done this after splits. Just a little stressed.
 
Keep the clowns well fed. Feed it several times a day until it eats no more. The feed the anemone too. Your anemone need to grow so it can host the active clowns. The anemone is the host not the clown.
 
Also size matters. If the nem and the clown are too close in size it can be a bad thing. The clown will end up beating the nem into submission and stress.

  • None! My inverts are model citizens. :-)
