my maroon clown fish always play with the sea anemone and the anemone's tentacles always became very small and thin. does it OK ? when the clown fish play with it, it became very small and contract. it took quite a long time back to normal. when it had back to normal, the clown fish play with it again, and it also became small and contract again. Does it Ok?

Clownfish and anemones always interact with each other in the normal ocean environment. I think it'll be fine.

Maroons can be rough with smaller anemones. It's always best to pair Clownfish with an anemone of equal size or larger, to avoid adding stress to the anemone. Just keep an eye on things if your anemone is on the small side. Under the right conditions, your anemone should grow, and become a more suitable host for the Maroon.

Clownfish and Anemones have what's called symbiosis in nature, but it's difficult to grow them in captivity.
if I were you, I'd make sure this is the right kind of anemone for the clownfish. Apparently only certain kinds of fish can have a symbiotic relationship with certain kinds of anemones. If it's the wrong kind, the fish could pick on the anemone.
If I were you, I would also check with the pet shop owner, and other salt-water tank hobbyists' forums. This kind of tank requires quite a lot of experience!

i'm uncertain what coral liquid is, yet as suggested above, anemones like meaty meals. besides the undeniable fact that, mild is their conventional source of nutrition, besides the undeniable fact that it is likewise good to supplement feed anemones mouth-length products of meaty meals like silversides, sandeels, squid, krill, etc. I feed my Bubble Tip 2-thrice a week. The anemone could be retracting considering you're blasting it with the liquid nutrition. particularly, i might decrease up a small piece of meaty nutrition, no larger than the anemone's mouth, and use some tweezers to softly place the nutrition on that is tentacles. A healthy anemone ought to seize the nutrition straight away, and place it in its mouth. in simple terms make certain no one else steals the anemone's nutrition whilst it fairly is feeding. Regards

It shouldn't be a problem.
Clowns and anemone's usually get along.
Your Anemone should get use to the clown being there over time.

If I remember from Nemo, it was only when the clown fish was telling jokes.....Just kidding couldn't resist. They say the size of the tentacles has little to do with it I think. Oh heck I'm over my head and just trying to get to level 3 sorry. I 'll do better next time.
