Clown all of a sudden feeding anemone

[TheJGMProject]

Now don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that my female Maroon Clown is all of sudden feeding my really bleached and tiny anemone.

I just have to ask the question as to why she wasn't doing this on Thursday, but started on Friday? Maybe because she knew the weekend was coming :lol: Is it in her nature to help a a flailing being in her symbiotic relationship? She's also paired with smaller juvie male if that helps.

Any thoughts are welcome

I dont think its trying to intentionally feed the anemone. CLowns usually bring food (too large to eat) back to their nests to keep it for themselves. The anemones just happen to like the same type of food lol.

You bring up a good point, the food it brings back is kinda of too big for her mouth. Otherwise she eats it. I guess I will intentionally put some bigger pieces in there so she continues to indirectly feed the anem. Better than me sticking my arm in there and trying to target feed the thing!
