anemone getting killed

[PufferGuy]

My clown is definitely beating the piss out of my anemone and it has gotten to the point where the anemone is looking pretty bad. What can i do to separate the 2 until i can get a bigger anemone and take this one back to the store?? I cant really use a tank divider due to how my live rock is arranged.

Do you have a sump? Could put the clown in there.
Or you might just want to take the nem back to the store now, regardless if you get another or not.

the town i go to college in doesnt have a saltwater fish store so ill have to wait 2 weeks until i go back home.. the sump is only a 10 gal and is split in 3 so its not too much space.. would that stress the fish too much if it was in there for 2 weeks?

Drill holes in the sides on a Tupperware plastic container, sink it to the bottom and place the anenome in it.

Thats probably your best option right there.
Less stress on the clown and less stress on the anemone.

thats how I would handle it, that will probably cause your anemone to release its foot as well so that it will be easier when you are ready to take it back to the store.
