    The wierdest and coolest thing happened today. I have a large clarkii clown that was beating up my little black clown. I glanced over at the little black clown and saw him actually sucking or nursing on the swaying fingers of the colt coral. It was like he was acclimating himself to the "colt poison" in order to to be a future host..:cheesy: anyone esle seen this??

    Do the colts have poison? Why would he "chew" on the polyps?
