Pic of my confused clowns


This pair of clowns have ignored the Rose in my tank and taken to this green hammer coral. Thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

IMO That doesnt look like a Hammer coral to me.. That looks more like a torch to me.. Careful with them hosting in it.. They have been known to kill some corals such as heliofungia, toadstools, Elegance, Ect..

looks good though,
James

Actually, that looks like a heliofungia.

And there's no telling what clowns will host with sometimes. I've seen them host with all kinds of corals, powerheads, PVC and I had one that hosted with a feather duster. Clowns are funny.

yea clowns are very funny fish, our maroon sometimes thinks he is a shark when he know its about feeding time and will swimp at the top of the tank in circles with his top fin out of the water till we feed him when it came time to host, he didnt want the frogspawn, or even our bigger toadstool, he went for the toadstool that was half his size lol, he cant even lay in it all the way, just kinda headbutts it and swims next to it all day. great fish.
