    Final straw was tonight. Every 30 seconds or so, she would kick up large patches of sand. She had a section of the tank down to bare glass. Then I put in a new coral, a blue tort, and she made it a point to go over and knock it off the rock. Then kicked up more sand. Out she went. I have emptied considerable amounts of sand out of my filter sock. The tank looks like a snow globe with her in there.

    "Location: Earth" How could you not be close?

    Where on Earth are you living ZachB? I think I recall your in south florida some where... am i right? If I was ready for it and was local I would take it from you. Unfortunately I don't even have my new tank yet.

    My two clowns are constantly digging in the sand. On my next tank I am going to paint the bottom of the tank the color of my sand so it doesn't look bad when they get to the glass. (it won't be SPS so I won't care if they stir up sand too much)

    I used to live somewhere nice (Tampa) then I moved to Tennessee. My actual opinions of said state are not appropriate for this forum.

    I will not have another clown in my tank.

    Purple tangs do nip coral sometimes! Just be aware of that.
