    Maroon clowns are awesome - the bluish tint is very cool. Congrats on the new addition!

    Here are some more pictures, sleepy fish = macro shots

    Also can someone tell me while i've got some attention, is the pinkish stuff on the rock below and to the right of the clown in the first picture the first signs of coraline growth? The tank is only about 6 weeks old but that base rock is very calcium rich and i "scraped" a few of the seed rocks a bit.

    Enjoy and thanks in advance for the answers :)

    I have a black and white percula that has the same thing. Its a slight blue hue tint to their white stripes. Very cool. Makes for a nice contrast against the black, or red in your case. Cool fish.

    Cool looking fish.

    Pinkish stuff might be coralline. Check your phosphate and nitrate levels it might be some cyano.
