Good evening to one and all, I was just wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions that might help. We have an anemone which has taken upresidance at the very bottom of our tank (200 gal) so hard to reach, Tried moveing him but he's deceided that is his spot. It is being ablely looked after by a clarkie clown, who takes food to feed it. Now heres where the problem starts we also have a sailfin who's found out that theres extra grub going and darts in and removes it before the anenome can close up.
I've tried tweezers and also a pipe with a bastor attached to feed it directly into its mouth? I've tried distracting the other fish Ie. feeding at the same time, feeding when the lights are out etc. but as soon as I go near the anenomie with or without food the sailfins there.
Sorry its a bit long winded but i'm running out of ideas. I'd very much appreciate it if someone can help.

hi, what ya can do is get a clean 2 l coke bottle,cut the bottom off + make an access whole at the top this whole depends on what ya feeding ie frozen fed via a bastor requires a small hole, if ya feeding larger items like prawns,shrimp,whitebait etc the top hole will need to be bigger! place the bottle over the nem, feed, and wait for the food to disapear! shouldnt take too long, then remove bottle

Thanks for getting back so quick Tellboy I did think of that but the trouble is is that hes tucked down sideways at the far end of the tank, could'nt have picked a worse place, and I cant see the mouth, and the clarkie goes ape when he cant get near it. Thanks again tho.

Hey Tellboy what a player Tried the tube and bottle. Then turned the lights of worked a treat (until the sailfin works it out again that is) I can see this is going to be a battle of will's. Once again thanks for the input.
