Default Clowns hosting my wellso to death?

So I just aquired 6 clowns into a tank with no anemones aside from two small maxi minis. So they decided to love my wellso, and love it, and love it...

Wellso isn't looking so happy. It has shrunk right in and is baring skeleton. . So, question? Should I give it another day or two to acclimate or give the tank a torch light that they can torture as an alternative sooner than later?

Yes, Clownfish can "love" a coral to death. Once they have a fondness for an object it is difficult to distract them from their obsession. The most likely way to get them to obsess with something else is to introduce a suitable anemone.
