Is this ok... Or should I take action?

[pettyrd]

My sebae anemone is really close the my RBTA... It doesn't look like they are fighting... But is there cause for alarm? Should I attempt to move one? Or will they hash it out themselves?

I have had them that close before with no problems. If they make contact they will move away from one another. Only once have I had an anemone eat another anemone.

Sebae lost the battle for the space...

Wow close call bet thAt was exciting! Nice Picasso clowns do they spawn? How long ya had them?

[pettyrd]

It was entertaining breakfast action.

 

Thanks! They are a cool pair, and they haven't spawned yet... At least I don't think they have. Would be really cool to see though. I have had them about 4 months.

Normally the sebae will win if they do come in contact. Which one had there spot claimed there first? The sebae might have just been passing through and continued on. How long have you had each?

Do clowns only swim in one anemone or do they like to roll around in all of them?

I have had the RBTA longer... It was already attached to that rock and the Sebae was slowly creeping towards it yesterday... This morning they were almost touching and then after some flirting, the sebae is back to his corner. I have only had the Sebae for a few days... For some reason my clowns pay zero attention RBTAs but hosted the Sebae within an hour of introducing the new anemone.

Mine also liked the sebae more and had a darker color while it hosted them. With BTA's, both clowns lost some blackness and became more orange.
