Default I have a stupid clown





So I woke up this morning and noticed my false perc has a new friend ... I've wanted to see this relationship since I started my tank and I even have a rose bubble tip anemone but he picks the frogspawn o well at least he is hosting something .... The two black clowns are hanging out and one looks like it wants to dive in ..... Very cool I'm happy and just wanted to share

no one ever claimed, clownfish are the smartest fish to swim the ocean.....its really not a relationship that you want......the clownfish will likely end up with burn marks from being stung and Ive had customers tell me that their clowns killed their frogspawn/torch.......

Stupid clowns, mine hosted in zoa's for a year, had burn marks on them that are still clearing up a year later. Zoa's where fine though, if you don't want them in there you can try moving the frogspawn if you can. Once i moved the zoa's my clown's went back to hosting my magfloat...

My rose bubble tip anemone ended up taking residence on the vertical wall of a rock and probably won't end up being hosted due to it's position ... I've tried moving it and always ends up in the stupidest places ... At least with this spot I can see it .... Don't think I'm gonna bother moving it anymore

That's how i ended up losing my anemone, moved the rock it was on, it didn't like the new spot, and that night committed anemocide by going through a kora powerhead.

Both my clowns take turns hosting my frogspawn and open brain coral. Both corals are fine and this has been happening for over 1 year now and no ill affects on either coral. It is real funny seeing a cown fish laying on top of an open brain, first time I saw it i thought my clown was dead lol. One is now starting to go into my torch. At first I did see marks on the fish but after a while no more marks, not sure if they become immune to it.
