Entacmaea quadricolor and Premnas biaculeatus

Anaheim, CA

My hobby of reef keeping all began with my fascination with clownfish and their host anemones. Kramer is a Gold-striped Maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) and the anemone is a green bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). I have been keeping this couple for 8 months and Kramer rarely leaves his anemone for an extended period of time and even harder to get a good photo of them. During feedings, Kramer will actually bring the larger pieces to the anemone. It is still not known if the fish is actually feeding it's host or if it is trying to "stash" the bigger pieces for later. All that's known is the anemone almost always eats the treat.
