    Hey Merry x-mass every one!! ;D
    I got a new bubble coral for my b- day! looks great and I put it on the bottom no danger of falling! Yeah no falling ;D
    Oh I also had a percula clown in my 55 gal. for some time but he was really shy and would hide when you walked up to the tank. :eek:
    But on a whim I bought another one yesterday and after a little anemone protection conflict now the two of them swin together all over the tank. yeah swim together ;D
    As an added bonus the original percula would only eat one kind of food I offered but after seeing the new one eat different things he can't help but sample some also so in this case all the shy fish needed was a buddy!
    Merry christmas,
    Dave

    Sounds great Dave!
    That's cool they are getting along.
    Keep an eye on that bubble, it may not like being on the bottom.

    from what ive seen they say clowns are ok as a single or a pair i think they do much better with a buddy. i did the same at first i got one green chromis he hid all the time didnt eat much but when i got a 2nd one he became very active, eating more and stopped hiding there one species that i would never keep as a single either.
