Anemone pooing

[IamELMO]

While my anemone does number 2's it shrivels down to a deflated bag of nothing. I'm wondering if I have a pair of clowns that are hosted by it - will they usually give it some time to itself and if not, will them snuggling damage or stress it while it's busy?

Anemones give themselves a water change like that but I would worry a little if it was on a constant basis.....the clowns shouldn't hurt it in either case. You may consider what the anemone is expelling and decide if your food offerings are causing it discomfort. People go on about silversides and such but I find that softer meaty bits/chunks tend to work best.
