Yes the rocks were out for a few minutes at a time but I kept if fairly wet most of the time. Ill be sure to keep the fish in another tank next time I do a major redo.

I picked up another yellow clown from AI as well as another Rainford! I had to get the kids back together again. The yellow clown was eating when one of the guys was feeding them so I decided to get him. Then I decided I should replace the Rainford that was sick and died a few days earlier. Now they are both in there and eating and looking good. Dawn I hope your yellow clown is doing good and eating as well. And yes I still have the males I see one male at a time as they like to hide most of the time. One thing I noticed is that the pom poms on the female have changed from pink to white - wonder if she lost hers and stole from the males! I want to check under the rocks and see if they are all still alive but I dont want to upset the tank again and move all the corals. Last night I saw the female and I know one male is there so hopefully they are both there!

Last night when taking the pics of the tank I noticed 3 astrea snails that didnt move for a few days. After taking them out I noticed the worst smell to mankind coming from inside of them - dead. Also I picked up the large turbo snail shell and guess what was inside - nothing! I guess with the move and all these things rotting in the water was the cause of my tank not doing well the past few weeks.

Added a Goniopora to the tank - we'll see how long I can keep it alive!

Lindsay I tried to include a pic with some coloration on the hybrid clowns. The color is still darkening as they are still young. Hope this gives you an idea of the color you can expect. I also noticed Bubbles has her dorsal fin was split when I got her and its not growing back - should have called her Spike

Also when I was feeding the corals with the powerheads off the fish kinda grouped up and it was like playtime! The clown was nudging the yellow goby around but it didnt look violent more playful-ish but I can be wrong. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Enjoy the pics and vids!
