We traded in our pink skunk clowns for this little guy today (sorry about the water spots on the tank!)

Thanks! Are they really that mean? I have heard mixed reviews of them.
NM Reef, I had a mated pair of percs once...they were excellent fish and fun to watch together. Do you have an anemone?

They are the meanest clowns there is. It helps if they are the last fish introduced. What other fish do you have in your tank?

our marron clown my dad put in the little tank is real cool with me, eats out of my hand. always begging for food,, bobs his head out of the water if you open the top of the tank.... but it did ram a skunk cleaner shrimp to death.

It's going to be the last fish. It's really, really little right now. Maybe an inch long. It's in the reef tank with my blue hippo, yellow tang and xmas wrasse. I can't imagine it's more of a jerk than my yellow tang...he was a mean little bugger when I first got him.
Jeez, he's reef safe, isn't he???? I guess I should've checked, but I assumed that clowns were reef safe...
Melody, as usual, I'm in awe of your photos!

Yep, that's ole Ms. Bossy B*t*h!! :D I had a dream last night that she died and oh my gosh was I ever heart broken. I wouldn't know what do do without her. I love to fight with her. She'll throw sand at me and I'll put one of those bobbing head baseball player fiqurines from a cereal box up there. Boy does it p*ss her off. She will stand on her head, rush it and slap her tail at it....funny as all get out.
She's not scared of anything!



a bobble head? LOL :hilarious
although, I don't like dreams like that!! :nope:

Nope ... not currently...but I am considering either a colorful carpet or a rose BTA...if I decide on either it'll be about 4-6 months down the road. I'm not real sure that I'll even attempt one. But the percs should be able to find a place to call their own considering I currently have about 50 corals that will soon be transfered into the new display and plans for many more additions over the next several months.

My skunks took to my corals a little too enthusiastically. I had to trade them in. I'm hoping my maroon takes to my anemone instead!
I love how my little maroon wiggles around the tank. I can't stop watching him because he's really cute:) Everyone: your maroons are very nice! Smoothounds, mine's like yours: a little brighter red (you can't tell from the pic because I used a flash)

I absolutly love mine. I little while back I had one that was a little darker unfortinatly he has gone to fishy heaven but I really like the brighter one better. He added allot of color to the tank. Keep us posted on how he adjusts.
