My clown won't let my BTA eat
My clown won't tel my BTA eat and when I feed BTA the clown goes in after the food...is the clown eating or helping

This is what he does, only normally for longer and more violently

They love the BTA and sleep in it!

How often do you feed, or try to feed your bta. Usually if a clown is hosting one they will provide food for it so it won't need direct feeding. I think alot of people do not feed there nems

Gross feeding as your finding can be an issue at times. Sometimes you feel the desire to throttle your fish.
As long as your lighting is sufficient for hosting zooxanthellae its not a major drama. Depending on the marine fare and proximity, they still get shredded morsels and juices. Alternatively coax your clowns away if possible and then gross feed your anem smaller pieces ( which your fish may pick it from the mouth part anyways), or if its not hosting, feed after lights out.
