Clowns and bubble coral
 
My clowns are trying to get into my bubble coral. They are rubbing against it and looks like nipping a bit. If the hit one of its tentacles they go and rub against the sand or a rock. I don't have an anenome, tank is 6 months old. I know clowns don't need one, but should I get them one? I was thinking of a carpet anenome...thoughts?

I would suggest perhaps a hairy green mushroom, these are common and many may have a rock with many on it.
If you move your coral and put the hairy green there they may host the new mushroom.
You could ask here if anyone has any smaller split nems.

I suggest , move the bubble coral somewhere else before they kill it.

I picked up a small anenome and will put it in behind where the bubble is and move the bubble. They were sitting under the bubbles when we got home. Maybe a rush decision but I really don't want them in the bubble. I had read about these clowns and anenomes so it should be ok. Got some cool pics tho.

Clowns jumped into anenome within 15 mins of placing in the tank. Moved bubble and all is good! So cool, female went in first, male went in once she moved out and they are both in and out! That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen...well so far with this hobby anyway!:lol:

I've turned out the lights as nem looks a little weird, didn't acclimate to light. So will see how pics with flash work.....I'm soooooo happy!

which type of nem did you get, I hope you acclimated slowly.
