I have had a pair of clowns now for 2 years. I moved them to my 180 about 11 months ago or so. A couple months ago I added a really nice Rose BTA. After about 2 months, the female finally started hitting it. (Occ. Clowns BTW) Ever since she has been using it, it seems like she is getting splotchy. Her face almost looks like a sun tan gone peeling. The male is fine. She also seems to have some type of wierd spotting look to her. It doesn't look like a disease or ick. Today I noticed part of the middle of her tail fin has a small piece gone.

None of the other fish are bullies at all and I never see her fight. From what I read, the other symtoms appeard like nesting but now with the chunk taken out, I'm not sure. She's been like this awhile. I feed a variety diet and she eats like a hog everytime. It just seems like the anemone is really just tearing her up.

Any ideas or should I just assume it is normal? I'll try to get a pic tommorrow.
