    I have a Oc., a Clarki, and a Maroon; all of which were obtained at different times. None of them pair up, etc.

    I have two nems, a M-M Carpet, and a Watermelon BTA.

    Recently the Maroon has been hanging out right behind the Maxi-mini, and I even see him touching it without any problems.
    He doesn't 'lay' in it, but nudges up and does touch it.

    The Clarki has pretty much always resided into the WBTA. I even have seen him taking pellets in his lips over to it to 'feed' it.
    He really doesn't share it witrh the others though.

    And my first clown, the Ocelaris likes to reside in either a Neon Green CC, and/or a Hammer coral. He usually sleeps in the hammer.

    Thanks Mindy,
    The Maroon in the MM has only been recently, and I haven't seen him lay in it, but he is touching the top/front without problems.

    When I researched MM's and hosting everything said they don't.
    I have seen pics of sexy shrimp in them however.

    We'll see if he keeps it up.

    That is pretty cool! Congrats! This in the 180 I presume? I didn't think you could mix clown species in the same tank, but I guess if its big enough lol. Any territorial issues?

    Well Thanks,

    No, I'm still in the 125g. The 180 and everything with it is still ready- I think I'm planning on May for the transfer.
    It's still really cold here.
    The three clown species seem to get along presumably b/c there is alot of space in the 125 also.
    When the Maroon was introduced- way after the other 2, he wanted to go in the WBTA, but the Clarkii fought hard, and still to this day monopolizes it!
    The Maroon is at least twice the volume of the Clarkii also.
