I picked up a new Bali Nem off a fellow in town. Well it seems my Clarkiis are a bit too much for it. The clowns are easily as big as the anemone, they have 3 others in the tank to choose from. The picture below was 2 months or so ago, it's about half the size now, if not 3 times smaller.

What could I use to keep the clowns off the anemone for a while? I was planning on picking up a small colander and covering it for a few weeks.
Any suggestions are welcome.

I made an egg crate box by super gluing 5 pieces together and set it over the anemone.

That's a great idea, way better than the colander.
Here's my little creation.

Good job! I like it. Now if you're really good, you can use tweezers or forceps and feed it through the holes in the eggcrate lol. :)

I got a pair of forceps just for feeding because I got REALLY tired of trying to remove the eggcrate every couple days(I'm not a very delicate person).
