HOLY COW!! Clown hosting to xenia!

Yay! This is my first ever reef tank and I have a pair of clowns in a 20g Long with only pulsing xenias and kenya trees so far. I came home from class this morning to find my female hosting to the xenia right next to my desk! I'm so proud! They are both captive bred fish and in such a small tank w/o any stinging corals I didn't think this was possible but YAY!!! I'm so excited!!
Haha, had to share the warm fuzzies!
I'm working on getting some pictures uploaded soon

I couldn't get photobucket to work so I uploaded some pictures onto my account here! Here is the link to my photos http://www.greateriowareefsociety.org/users/kylie-day/photos#showtab=photos|asview=asimages|params=23

Hope you like them!

 

That would be awesome but I'm not sure if they will. Bennie has tried to court with Cora ever since they met. Cora even did the jiggle dance back for a while but no signs of any eggs. For a while they had a smooth rock cleaned off that they gaurded but never laid any eggs.

Thanks for the nice comments!

 

I'm curious now.. once I get them upgraded to the 40g and that has matured enough to house an anemone, do you think she will switch to hosting to the anemone or stick with the xenias? I guess if she's not going to switch to the anemone, I wouldn't want to risk owning one.. I've been told many horror stories about them.

 

Well.. I guess I'll just have to see when the time comes. I wouldn't want to get an anemone until I was at least settled into my jr/sr college apartment. At least then I won't have to move the tank every winter and summer. So, does anybody know any good fish stores around Iowa? I've been to coralville bay in iowa city, sea of marvels in north liberty, aquatic environments in davenport, and pets playhouse in cedar rapids. Any other suggestions? Always open to visiting a new store!
