      I recently purchased a Bay Anemone to keep my Bay Clown
Fish company and with this being my first experience with either 
I have a few problems that I need help with.
   1. I placed my anemone in a section on the tank that I
      thought was perfect but evidently my clown fish didn't
      think so because he appeared to be pushing the anemone 
      into a section of the tank he (the fish) was more pleased
      with. Is this a common practice?
   2. I fed the anemone about 12 hours after I and the Clown
      placed him in the tank. At first he started moving the
      food toward his mouth opening but never seemed to ingest 
      it. After about 10:00 it appeared to be taking the food
      in the same manner as a star-fish would. I always thought
      that all anemones "swallowed" thier food. Am I mistaken 
      about this?
   3. What is the feeding pattern and best food for an anemone?
   4. I am also interested in buying some live rock. I saw an
      add for a company in Florida that will ship in 24 hours
      30 pounds of rock for about $80.00. Is this a good deal?
      How much would I need for a 30 gal tank? What should I 
      be looking for in Live Rock?


       
 Well tanks for your help,
