    Alright so do any of your clowns do with your clean up crew? They are currently cleaning the glass and my female is like seriously swimming right on top of them. She doesn't seem to be bothering them, just swimming up and down the row of cerith's. I thought this was odd, when i first put my CUC in she was VERY interested in them and would hover over them and swim downwards checking them out.

    Do your clowns have this fascination with inverts? my male hasn't taken interest. I just thought it was kind of cute, like she's making friends and chatting with them :lol:

    Haha my clown loves my cuc. He always swims over to them and hovers above them, and like stares down at them. It's so cute!!

    I no longer have a clown but my blue damsel will go around sometimes and grab the snails off of the glass and carry them around and drop em back down to the bottom so they have to start over. weird fish

    My diamond goby likes to pick up crabs and snails and swim them to the opposite side of the tank if they get in his den. He looks so frustrated when he does it. My clown pretty much leaves them alone.

    If your clowns are acting "odd" then they are probably happy and healthy.;D

    hahaha hope so, i've only had the CUC for a few days now. She likes them more than the male clown, so sad if he gets close to her she nipes at him and swims away.
