    Since it seems to be a slow day  ....
    I have a pair of black and white clowns...  i recently got them a bubble tip anemone.   i am showing my newness here so bear with me.  lol
    They have just in the last week or so started hosting the anemone.  Which is awesome (it took the anemone a while to find a "happy" place and  few times i moved it...)  Anyway i have been observing the behavior and it just too cool...  The other day when i fed the tank the clownfish actually took the anemone food and fed it before it fed herself....             I thought that was just awesome!  She doesn't feed it every day but seems to feed it every other day....
    I know, i am so easily amused...
    Thanks for reading!

    I have 3 pairs of clowns and 1/2 of the pair of skunks host in my LTA...apparently they don't like to share!  The other skunk tries the LTA untill chased off and likes to host GSP, frogspawn, yellow polyps - eveything but a condy that I have.

    Orange pair "host" GPS, black too new....mostly the mag float cleaner...[​IMG]
