    Clowns fighting after one started hosting nem

    Hi! I've had a pair of frostbite clowns for a few months that came with a significant enough size difference that one would clearly be dominate. The larger one was at least 1.5x the size of the smaller and still is. They're both still juvenile I think. They had slept together and stayed in one...

    Will ocelaris percula hybrid clownfish host bta

    I got a pair of ocelaris x percula hybrid clownfish. I didn't realize they were a hybrid until after I got them. Does anybody have experience with them hosting bubble tips? The clownfish I got are photon clownfish.

    My Clownfish loves a Silicone tip anemone

    Has your clownfish refused every anemone or are you simply tired of removing those cute bubble tips that have a mind of their own? Naturalistic micro habitats for saltwater reef tanks, provide marine aquarists with creative fish safe options, which for example, can eliminate the challenge of...

    strange behavior

    today my male clownfish took an interest in nuzzling the skimmer, normally they sleep against the back wall but both the male and female pair keep twitching on it. are they trying to host it? i’ve never seen him twitch besides when he is submitting to the female.

    What are some of the hosts that your clownfish has taken up residence in?

    Here’s mine making my Plating Monti as its bed.

    Clowns trying to be hosted by euphyllia, experiences?

    Hello hobbyists! My young clown has decided to move from the rock corner he was living in to the beloved large walling hammer colony. He’s not being rough with it, but if he smacks his head into a polyp the one polyp will retract a bit. currently the hammer is happy and open. has anyone...

    Clownfish Hosting Vargas Coral?

    Hi all, Is there by any chance a way I could encourage my pair of clowns to host this Vargas Cespitlaria coral? It’s grown to immense size so I was curious if it was possible. Sorry for the intense blue lighting, thank you!

    Clownfish Trying To Host Zoas!?

    Hey everybody, I have had saltwater fish only and reed tanks off and on for roughly 10+ years now and clownfish have almost always been apart of every aquarium I’ve had. However, I have never seen or have had clownfish of my own that tried to host zoanthids. Let alone my beautiful Illuminati...

    Clownfish attempting to host on Duncan?

    I know that Clownfish in aquariums are known to host with random things, but has anyone confirmed seeing one try to host or even successfully host on a Duncan Coral? I am asking, because my Midnight has been hanging around my Duncan lately and rubbing up against it. This has only been over the...

    Clown finally hosting anemone

    I thought I tried everything to get my clowns to host the rbta I had purchased months ago, I added them by a tube I enclosed them near the nem I put pictures of a clown in a nem on the tank and I would fall asleep with my computer playing an hour long video of a clown hosting a nem. The point to...

    Clownfish hosting Duncan Coral

    My weird clownfish just started hosting my Duncan coral when I had an anemone already in the tank for one month. Will the hosting stress the coral? Also feel free to tell stories of your clowns being stubborn and hosting your corals:)

    Forced Clownfish Anemone Symbiosis

    Hi! Does anyone know a way to get their clownfish to host an anemone. I’ve had a green bubble tip anemone for about a month now and my two clownfish don’t even get close to it and always stay in the back of the tank. I’ve tried reorganizing my live rock and adding a new fish to make the...

    Patience as a virtue

    When I purchased my designer clowns (mochas), I was told it would be unlikely for them to have their natural instinct for the mutualistic relationship. Even more so unlikely with RBTAs! However, it’s been 4.5 months, and the male now feeds and sleeps in the BTA! I didn’t use pictures or lasers...
