Clowns starting to host! - Frag Outpost Forums - Coral Propagation and Reef Aquarium Forums

Now that my BTA has split, my clowns are starting to find it much more interesting. I have just been watching one of them start going into the first anemone. It immediately swam back out, but it was very cool to watch and it's nice to know they are going to host soon.

Nice. Are both your clowns roughly the same size? Can you determine which is male and female yet?

They are both almost the same size, so I don't think the sex thing has been figured out yet. They both hang out together in the tank all day, so I guess that's a good sign.

Should post a photo next time they go visit the anemone.

Yes we need pictures.

I sure was trying, but after the one went in and then quickly swam away they stayed away for the rest of the day. This, of course, was all after I got the camera all set up with the remote control so I could take pics.

They were at it again. It's not a 100% done deal, but they have made progress:

Very Nice. Glad to hear that they are beginning to host.
I lightened up one of your pics so I could get a better look.

It was tough trying to get the pics, as it was just after the 10Ks went off for the night. Once they realized we were paying attention to them, they gave up. It was still very cool to watch.

What was really cool was that at one point, the clown with the full tail stripe wnt completely in and started wiggling around

Nice...
