    Went to my LFS today and picked up really nice 5" Acro colony for $40, i also noticed this little guy for $10, he was barely swimming, his fin is bitten by some one. Right next to him was some kind of anemone for $9, so I picked it up too. Any Ideas what is a common names?

    Update:

    Clown made trough the night, he is more active now, but not eating that well. After I researched Condy I gave it away to my bud with FOWLR cube.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The clown looks like an Ocellaris.

    The anemone a Condy and might not ever host the clown.

    Not sure on the Acropora, maybe Formosa but just a guess.

    Congrats.

    Thanks, clown is twice bigger than anemone, I just picked up due to a price. I will be happy if clown will survive.

    I found this guy dead this morning, during the last month I was trying to make him to eat many times, he ate 5-6 times only. After I took him out of tank I noticed some kind of fungus looking erosion around damaged fin. I got so attached to this little guy.... :(

    Sorry for the loss man. On a side not be careful if your starting to buy coral frags if your wanting to start a reef with the condy anenome. I had one and those things move so much it will start going and destroying your corals. I had one grow to be a damn giant and eat my pulsing xenia right in half and moved on to start stinging the hell out of my zoas. FInally got rid of it but just be careful with that. some have luck with it others dont in reefs
