Yesterday I put two small clarkiis in with my sebae anemone. The anemone was about the size of a dinner plate. Today with the lights on it's usually huge, but now it's all shriveled and the clowns are digging in. Will this kill an anemone if it's been in a tank without clowns for awhile?

it does occationaly happen where new clowns will "love" an anem to death.
if it doesnt get better by tomorrow it might be best to interfere

Definitely got better. Anemone is wide open and accepting food again. Thanks for the reply.

They were just covering themselves in seabae slime. That iritates our little imobile friends to no end the first time ! Usually, only a very large clown vs. a very small anem will cause problems
