    I have a Yellow Mimic Tang in my tank. last night I got a gold stripe maroon and a Bubble Tip anemone. Every time a give the BTA some krill the mimic swims over and takes it right out of the BTA's tenticals. What do I do now? the BTA will starve. Not to mention the Maroon refuses to go near it.

    I have had a Yellow Mimic in my tank now for about 2 weeks. I notice that from time to time it gets dark colored. It is getting plenty to eat and the water is very stable.
