I feel so bad my poor little clowns have no anenome and no corals therefore they've hosted in some long hair algae. I can't help but feel bad seeing them sleep between the algae and going there for shelter.

I guess I need an anemone before the algae get's mowed down.

They love bigger broad leaf macro algae too.

I have a large goldstripped maroon that likes a powerhead that shoots straight at the glass. She gets balanced in the pump blast and lets it pin her to the glass. Then she goes limp and takes a massage there while pinned against the glass. Funny to watch.

You shouldn't be feeling bad... Clowns don't NEED anemones in captivity. They will be perfectly content without one, especially if they are tank-raised. And even if you add one, it doesn't mean that they will take to it. My occellaris hosted my return-pump's water flow, wouldn't have anything to do with the anemones I provided. If you want an anemone, make sure that you have the tank requirements to support one.

I felt bad for them but I guess they are happy in the algae. Bad part is the Blenny's not allowed on that rock.

When I went over to Jim Norris' house Sunday I saw his Clowns hosting in Scar, his giant clam. Thought that was ineresting.
