Hey Eddie,

The clowns keep going into its mouth and removing things.
I've seen that behavior before when clowns are introduced to a new anemone. Why clowns do it I don't know, but you have confirmed for me that is a sure bet that the anemone is dying.
Next time try a BTA (Bubble Type Anemone) they are pretty hardy. Also; and I might be blasted for this but.....I don't agree with waiting a year before adding anemone's. I've had several different kinds over the years in pretty new tanks with no loses. The difference is that I did a bit of research on them first. There are some out there that will live in lower light. Good luck!
