i will post a pic when i can:D, hasnt been delivered yet tho so yeh lols.
if i add the clownfish first, (because an anemone wouldnt thrive in myh 10g atm as its been set up no more then a couple of months). will this make it less of a chance of them taking to an anemone?

no it will not. They might host in a frogspawn or toadstool for the time being.
Although, there is no guarantee that they will host in the anemone, it has been my experience that they eventually do.

yehh, i used to have a sebea anemone with 2 percs, and it took them about 2months to actually take to the anemone.
shortly after they did it died. unfortunate that. then my cleaner shrimp ate the clowns...... was a rough time lols.
i dno whether to go for true percs, b/w or like

[hr]
/picasso. i dno whether i wanna spend alott on the clowns lols.
might just get the b/w ones lols.
unless i see NICEE true percs:D

sooooooooo,
Someone, and I don't want to say who, added the wrong clownfish to their shopping cart :(
so, instead of Black and White Occilaris, I got 2 clarkiis. I wasn't sure about them, but they are absolutely beautiful, so they went in :)
The both went into a nem immediately, so hopefully they stay.

Thanks Asharp. Yes, I'm using a Fuji S2 Pro with a nikkor 50mm 2.8 macro. I'll write an article about photography soon. I have a ton of photos in my reef blog.
here's another one from today.

not exactly sure what that is but it says macro focus range is 1cm, here is a couple links to the specs:

lol. I won't hold it against you. I really am glad that you like it. The pictures don't even do it justice. The Clarkiis are very fun to watch.
