    gave my anemone a fresh half shrimp for his dinner and this is what i saw a few minutes later to check on it. :)

    YouTube - Clownfish

    i am sure that my porcupine puffer snagged the shrimp and it made my clown mad and defended the anemone. it was fun to watch.

    tomorrow the puffer will be taken to my lfs for he has become aggressive lately and he is growing fast. he has consumed 3 of my cleaner shrimps and at least 6 peppermint shrimps. so he has to go before he has to do more damage :(
