Do clownfish have maximum distance that they will go from their anemone to where they choose to nest? My cinnamon clowns have recently(last 2-3 months) adopted a colony of RBTA in the middle of my reef tank.They used to inhabit one corner and that is where their flowerpot is. The nem is about 18" fom their pot. Their last nest was on a piece of coral skeleton within reach of the nem. And I mean within reach. Do the eggs have the same protection from anemone stings that the fish have? The nest on the coral seemed to dwindle faster than the nests in the pot.
