    Just posting a pic for all to see. Sometimes the elegance is closed up as if bothered and at other times it's sprawled out big. I guess only time will tell. Both my clowns are hosting it now. At first the one, and it wouldn't let the other near. Now, the other isn't as protective and my other clown came in...weird. Moved the elegance to the bottom of the tank too. A lower flow, lower light area as was suggested to me.

    Funny, I was just discussing this very subject with another member concerning our small reef tanks- I have a pair of percs' hosting one of my large clams- the clam doesnt mind at all- except when the hawk fish uses him as a perch then he simply puffs up bigger and blasts my poor plate coral with water and sand. :confused:

    Then the clam opens right back up happy as a .....clam. ;D

    I have removed the hawk fish - so this doesnt happen any more.

    LOL, yea easy solution on paper, not so easy in the doing - ever tried catching a hawk fish in a 29 gallon reef tank? ;D It took me nearly 3 hours.
