clown fish storing zoos?

[roons]

i havent seen them actually do it , but there is a pile of my colony polyps right next to the seabae they live in , as if they are picking them and piling them up there for some reason ................anyone ever seen this b4?

That would be strange if a clownfish was doing that. If anything, the zoas would be hosting the clownfish. What else do you have in the tank? Sometimes, zoas will fall off. Ive found some zoas before that droped off the rock.

well its a new piece and they are small, i was thinking maybe flow was knocking them off too , but strange for them to all be in a pile in the same place.....................is this normal? do the most healthy ones only hang on on a new piece?

[Andrew]

Some just drop off because they are in a new tank. Ive had a few do that before. Are the zoas seperate or linked together?

Well if the flow is knockng them off they probably would end up in the same place. I have never seen clowns take anything and move it but hey you never know
