I have two black and white misbar clowns, which are awesome, and fat, hopefully one day a breeding pair. And I also have a feather duster that hasn't been opening fully the past few days and i just found out why, my clowns attack it and sends it back in its tube. Now i have had this feather duster for about a year and the clowns since february. Why would they all of a sudden would they start doing this now? That feather duster is my main attraction in the tank along with the acans....whats up with them?

put clowns in QT or sump and hope they make new home when they go back in
Do they have a nem to host? That usually keeps their full attention although I don't know how well B&W's tend to host.
And with my limited clown experience......I think the title of the thread should be "Normal Clown Behavior"
All my clowns act odd...LOL.

All my clowns act odd...LOL.I went through the same thing a while ago. The female clown would constantly attack the duster everytime he tried to poke his feathers out. I tried moving rock, the duster, everything and nothing worked. Once I moved everyone out to the new tank, she nipped at him at first but then just ignored him. It tried my patience as well. BTW...the clowns may try to host a variety of corals so you have some options if you wanted to try a different approach. My male tries to host my candycane, duncans, toadstools and the alvepora. Go figure!
My No Bar Cinnamon hosts in a Bubble Coral. I recently put a bubble tip over close to the coral. The clown is interested but the anemone isn't. It stays draws up and is half way under a rock
My Maroon claimed some polyps or palys (I've got no idea as to which or what), actually two sets of them, it was like watching him play a tennis match alone. He would run to one group and then to the other (about 8" apart). I've recently added a GBTA over on his side. NOW....he has a summer home, a winter home and a condo downtown!
haha, thats cute, i would enjoy that...i dont think i would even change that just to see him do that.
and they are back to terrorizing the duster so i got to figure out how to remove it fro the rock, it would cause to much of a disturbance to dig up the rock and move it.

The only logical solution now is to get a new, bigger tank!
