I have a question for anyone who might know. I brought home another clown fish- smaller one but the same kind and after a week the small one died and "Wiggles" won't eat. Its been 3 days now since the small one died. I'm worried he may be sick. Help!!!!!!Thank you

The tank is a year old. Would a finger anemone have stung my clown fish? I have had the finger anemone for a couple of weeks and Wiggles my clown fish for 5 months. The anenome moves around in the tank as is their nature to do. I added a few pieces of live rock from my husband's reef tank which were fully cured and added a royal grammas which I named half and half. Was the royal grammas to aggressive toward my clown fish and caused him to go to clown heaven? I would appreciate any advice or suggestion on this matter. Thank you Pat The Attack

Pat can you be more specific as to the ID of the finger anemone. Clowns arent automatically immune and not all anemones will host

The royal gramma can be territorial or just fiesty when establishing its niche. Then again the clown may have suffered long term effects from capture ofr any number of other things may have caused its demise, sorry I'm not much help
