    What kind is it?
    I have one Ocellaris and
    a mated pair of ORA Picasso clowns

    How much did it cost?
    Ehh too much ;)

    How long have you had it?
    I've had the ocellaris for 9 months and the Picassos for 4 months.

    Is there any thing unique about it?
    My ocellaris barely swims, he stays in the same 3"x3" section of the tank. But I'm not sure how unique that is for a clown.

    My female Picasso loves to attack my magfloat. When I'm using it she erects all her fins and chases it all over the tank trying to bite it. She shows no other aggression - just really hates clean glass I guess. ;)

    What’s its favorite food?
    Ocellaris will eat anything.
    The Picassos love brine with spirulina best, and the female loves Cyclopeeze and the male loves flakes.

    What’s its least favorite food?

    Mysis :)

    Does it host anything? If so, what?
    The ocellaris uses a rock sometimes.

    My Picassos were using a big clump of green hair algae, but since that's died they have no home!

    What kind is it?
    I have 2 black and white ocillaris

    How much did it cost?
    Here in Europe 60 Euros each... waaaay too expensive!!

    How long have you had it?
    For about 3 months now.

    Is there any thing unique about it?
    Dunno, but they paired up with my Chromi which I find a little strange but a couple of weeks ago they seemed to be spawning..... haven't seen any results though.

    What’s its favorite food?
    They seem to like everything.... from flakes to spirulina and brine shrimp

    What’s its least favorite food?
    Nothing

    Does it host anything? If so, what?
    For now just hosting a rock.

    So, waiting for an anemone I ordered... everything takes soooo long here in Spain... but they seem to be doing fine... just funny to watch the chromi always trying to get in between them.

    Had for 1 year, adopted it out because it was too aggressive
    He liked to come up to the glass and shake when he was hungry

    Hosted a koralia and then moved to my magfloat.
