I bought a tomato clown for my BTA yesterday and he went right in it. My question is it seems like he is laying on his side and looks like he is sleeping, is this normal? My other question is that do I need to feed the anemone or will he take care of it.

Thanks!

Quite normal behavior ;) For feeding the anemone, small pieces of fish (such as silversides) every couple of days.

Ok will he rob the food? I know the anemone crab I had did that.

No I just got a BTA for my clown and the silversides are just to big for the clown to swallow so he might pick at them but he won't be able to eat them.

I never fed my anemone personally, and it was fine. The clown will provide it with what it needs in my experience, and I had pretty good success with my GBTA and tomato clowns a number of years ago.
