Hi - I will take a pic later to share, but I got my first pair of clowns on Friday and they are doing really well. They seem to be in love the way they stick together and look like they cuddle! I have a 29g with 30 lbs lr. The tank's 6 weeks old. I'd love to add something for them to host, but need to upgrade my lighting. Right now just an old fluorescent from my FW set-up. I've heard clowns will host frogspawn - is that an easier coral to start with? I started my tank with local established lie rock and sand, so I've got lots of things inthere - lots of pods and worms etc. Should I wait a while before introducing anything else? Is frogspawn easier to keep than say an BTA? ANy help appreciated. Will post a pic this afternoon of the little guys.
Thanks!

Too early for corals for starters. Wait until the tank is around 6 months old. My clowns lived in my frogspawn. They loved it. Frogspawns require stronger lighting than what you have. Mine was under 260 watts of PC lighting. Anenomes are very hard to keep alive unless you are highly experienced. Not worth the money IMO.
