Do you have a mag floater? It's the best invention in the aquarium trade since the aquarium itself, IMO>

You seriously need a mag floater. Best thing ever invinted besides the aquarium itself. A toothbrush? No wonder there's algae, you probably never wanna do it!
Long time no hear. So how's it going? You haven't been on Yahoo IM lately.

I think it is fine, when the clown leaves the xenia 1 sec latter the xenias polips open back up. I know that the clown fish is bigger than the xenia LOL. For now its a little cabin for the clownfish then in a few months or less its going to be a HUGE mansion. LOL. Cant wait!
