    This, this is what happens. Although we don't usually see it because most hobbyists don't keep big groups of clowns.

    Thanks for correcting my bad info, usually try not to repeat stuff unless I have checked it out myself but this time I guess I did not.

    One of them does look pretty thin, I feed my black ocellaris cyclopeeze. I would say i put it in a like a light snowfall and leave the pumps on so they have time to get it before it drops. But to feed this much you need a good cleanup crew

    It's best not to over feed in this case, personally ever since I started making my own fish food I would never go back to pellets flake and other such products.

    I got a pair of black Occ clown from PETCO about 9 months ago and they are doing great. Don't sweat it, just quarantine. They even sold me a gigantic LTA for $4.99 because they thought it was a Condy ;D

    They're doing great. Adding some corals next week when my light comes in.

    They eat like pigs and now have a pavlovian response when I turn the pumps off. They rush to the feeding spot.
