I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying I've never seen it.

i Disagree with this, along time ago like 5 years ago i had a clarkii clown, that ALWAYS fed his host. Whenever i fed he would grab a piece of mysis and eat it himself, then go grab another piece and deliberatly spit it into the anemone. From what i have read its only certain speciece of clown that will exhibit this behaviour.

You disagree with what? That I haven't seen this happen? I havent.. I have 3 species of clowns totaling about 1500 fish and 8 anemone's (unless you count aiptasia ugh) and have never once seen it. Like I said "I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying I've never seen it."
