bubble tip Anemone

[martinojon]

Ok, here is my question, I had two clown fish in my 46 gallon reef tank for a few months and they were best of buddies, inseparable. Now I put a rather small, maybe 3x3 bubble tip Anemone in my tank and he abandoned his ole' friend for the new toy. So he is having a grand old time playing in the Anemone and the other clown is all alone in the area that they use to hang out.

Is the other clown going to have any negative repercussions, get sick, die, or just be sad. Or will they eventually both play in the Anemone. Should I buy a second Anemone? Has anyone ever had this prob. Is it a problem?


Thanks
John

Do not buy a second anemone. Your clowns will sort themselves out (sexually, and it may take a year or so)
Please buy some good books for reference.
