    Well just a quick fyi: I have a nemo clown and a red saddle back/fire clown for past 3 yrs in this 55g tank. I've had a few anemones in the past to try to interest the nemo clown in hosting it. well no takers.. recently put in a torch coral, and again no takers. The nemo clown pretty much host one of my maxi jet power heads in the corner his entire life. never leaves that corner of the tank. which is fine, except last week his little self got sucked into the intake slots on the power head prop assembly, luckily I was there to lend a helping hand. (what are friends for.) ;D well I've notice lately my red saddle back clown has been brushing up against my anthelia weeds lately.. well tonite I had the camera ready as he looks like he's gonna host this thing.. he'll bury himself almost completely in the anthelias, and looks like he's having a great time trying to hide himself. I just thought it was funny after 3 yrs and this is what he's chosen to host. plus this coral has been in the tank for almost 1 year! Anyone else have a saddleback clown that hosted anything besides anenome in your tanks out there? if so what was it?

    Here's some pics, sorry about the straches and dirty glass. :eek:

    Wow I heard clowns are crazy and this does nothing to dispel the notion. Great entertainment value. Congrats I think?

    ...maybe there is hope for mine after all!

    Mine will likely pitch a fit when i eventually move them into my new tank i have been working on - why? because mine are having a torrid affair with the HEATER of all things and that will be going down in the new sump.

    congrats on yours finally finding something it liked! definitely beats the powerhead!
