    Looking good billie!! I see you scraped off some coralline on the back? You know, people like that stuff..
    Do those clowns fight at all?

    thanks Obp!

    i never see the clowns nip at eachother, but when one gets too close to the other, one of them will shake violently, till they go away. you can notice it in the last couple seconds of the video.

    i like the coralline too, ill keep my over flow box, my bare bottom, and rocks coverd in it, but there was just a bit too much for my liking. it was a pain getting it off there, so that'll prolly only be done 2-3 times a year.

    The clown spasm is sign of dominance. The one thats shaking is usually smaller and is saying that "be my boss, please."

    it is always the smaller one, is that an issue at all? should i put one of them in time out or just let them be?

    No no dont separate them! They are just getting to know each other, establishing their relationship. The bigger one becomes female.

    my koralia magnum 6 comes in today, upgrading from a maxjet 1200, is this going to shock the fish/corals in a bad way? any tips or advice for introducing this new flow into the tank?
