Is there a way to keep clowns out of nem?!

[BaylorbearSW]

Short of removing the clowns?

My LTA was doing just peachy, attached, eating, good color, good "reflexes".

Well my clowns discovered it and now my nem won't attach to anything. It still has good color, still eats, still expands and contracts, etc...just won't attach. If I feed my tank it will keep the clowns busy for a few min and the LTA will attach, until the clowns go back and it will immediately detach. This has been going on about 5 days I suppose.

I have had clowns previously wallow my anemones to death but this one was well above the size suggestion for these little guys.

Any ideas?!

yea sometimes clowns will be a little rough on nems. how big is the LTA?

like my maroon always finds his nems i have 3 BTA's in my tank he goes to all of them. I would get another set of clowns theres really no way of keeping them apart.
