Nice tank !! love the corals.
I didnt know that clowns can host in corals too, that is awesome !! See how little I knew.
Can you list the corals that clown fish tend to like? I would like to get one or 2 as my tank is relativly new and now would be a great time to get one for my clowns.
Also, if you know, will a coral disrupt the relationship with the clown and a BTA?

I have had Ocellaris Clownfish set up house in the following:
Green Hairy Mushrooms
Tulip Anemone
Xenia
Heteroxenia
Frogspawn
Torch
LT Toadstool
I highly recommend the Green Hairy Mushrooms because it seems to benefit both the fish & the coral.

Wow, I'd love to see mine host xenia. My green hairy mushrooms held up to the beating for about two months and now all of the polyps except for one are almost completely shrunken. One polyp is a real trooper though and still fully expands.

Yes, you can keep all of the corals Bang Guy listed with power compacts. Just keep your calcium and alkalinity up if you get anything from the genus Euphyllia: frogspawn, torch, or hammer. They require both to be maintained in order to grow properly. Keep calcium 400-450 ppm and alkalinity 3.0-4.5 meq/L (8.4-12.6 dkH).

How are the corals doing for you? By the way, some of the mushrooms you got from me are the same ones my clowns are hosted by, but my clowns did not host anything except the top corner of my tank for nearly eight months (I think they are special).
Keep me posted on how your tank and critters are doing!
:happyfish
:joy:
Yea I wanted to get him a buddy!
Does anyone know what type of clown he is??? I want to make sure I get the same kind.
Also, all the corals are doing great. Thanks again for the hookup Bonebrake. Before you leave Philly I wouldn't mind buying the rest of your frags from you, if you still have some to get rid of!
I wish Rowdy would host something because that'd be adorable!

Rowdy is an Ocellaris clown (also known as a False Percula), scientific name is Amphiprion ocellaris.
:happyfish
It is pretty much the only clown they sell around here. The only other clown you could confuse him with is a True Percula and they are much more difficult to find for someone reason.
I actually have some new corals I am trying to sell. I have some really nice new Ricordea florida, some blue Caribbean zoanthids, and purple trumpet coral!
