Did you know that Clownfish are classified as Damselfish?
http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/clo.../blpercula.htm
i was reading this article about true perc compared to a false perc and it says "Did you know that Clownfish are classified as Damselfish?"
Wow didn't know that. Is it really true.

wow that is something thinking that clowns are really in the same family as damsels. and that they are quite mean sometimes. I am waiting for my tank to re-cycle because when i drilled my tank i messed up the SB and now i have the brown all over my rock and glass again.
