I only have four anemones now so not as many choices for bedding. Here is a flashlight/phone picture showing them all piled in one anemone along with the dominant egg laying pair:

(yes, I need to syphon the tank)
I like how they all get like that with an anemone though, very neat.

Thanks for producing this thread and being so diligent about the updates. I am considering a 120g clown harem tank and the information found in this thread is invaluable. Someone stated 20 pages back that you ever hear about is how this type of thing isn't possible. Refreshing to see someone take the task on responsibly, show what it takes to be successful, honest about their mistakes and provide a real resource to the hobby.
Thanks, Ryan

Didn't read the complete thread, but thanks for sharing. I like the pic where they're all huddled around the nem. Very cool.
I had 16 clownfish in my tank and they did fine. No extreme aggression since there was enough space for all of them. I had to gather them into a floating basket for a few days when I was doing some type of maintenance to the tank. A couple of the smaller clowns were picked on and ending up not making it.

I am wanting to add a black and white ocellaris to my tank. If I can find a very very young one, I think it would be ok. Animals have baby immunity with the same species as long as they aren't food size. Shot from my old tank:
Baby Clarkii and baby Banggais with an Ocellaris. A whole clutch of black and white would look really cool. I don't know if an Ocellaris would stay immature like the other Percs though.
Too bad there aren't black and white true percs. A black sheep in the herd would be like Where's Waldo.
OMG... those babies are tiny! how are you feeding them when they have to compete with the bigger ones for food?

Found and read this entire thread after seeing BRS' video. What can I saw that hasn't already been said? I'll say it anyway, wow what a beautiful tank and interesting thread.
I'm new to the hobby and only have a freshwater tank at this point. After seeing your pictures and videos, I so look forward to becoming a reefer (don't have the time or resources with a young and growing family).
Just have one question, what LFS do you use these days? It seems the Dolphin Pet Village has closed. I'm in the east bay and always interested in finding quality shops.

^ I am not picking you out singly, but using your comment as something to base my reply on.
While I appreciate this thread for the information it has, rewarding it as something others should try is a little hard for me to condone. I will reward her successess as something definitely different, and especially her openenss to share, but I will continue to maintain my stance that others should not attempt this.
To me, this is like someone who can drive 100MPH through rush-hour traffic, dodging all cops, no accidents, and safely getting home in little time. Can it be done? Yes, to someone who has the right knowledge, skill-sets, and a bit of luck. Should it be reproduced - no. One should go in with the knowledge that the likelihood of success (despite one person's story of positive outcomes), is still drastically stacked against them.
I applaud this tank and this thread for being an inspiration for others to become more involved in the hobby, and for documenting their stories. But, like they say on TV, please don't try this at home.

Having a bunch of clownfish and a bunch of anemones in a large enough tank is more common than you think. I started my 225G with a large clutch of 48 True Perculas. 19 months later they are huge and all still thriving except for a few that died as babies. I am up to about 40 Rbta and 2 large Ritteri. They all interact and have very minor quibbles from time to time, mostly peaceful.

I understand your viewpoint and it's absolutely valid. Thing is basically everything we do in reefing today was imposable or very risky at one point. Wasn't that long ago everyone said keeping two tangs in one tank is impossible, very risky or akin to the 100MPH analogy. This is absolutely not the case but you do have to go into it with strategy for success to maintain multiple tangs.
IMHO it's threads like this one that help us expand what we think we know about reefing. For instance we know for sure throwing a third clown or forth clown in is very risky and likely to be unsuccessful long term. It could be that is very different than raising a clutch up together with a plan to manage aggressive tendencies and this thread would imply that. The difference between a thread like this one and what i'd call irresponsible is they went into it with a strategy to manage the challenges, documented the results over a long period of time and were wiling to show both the positive and negative results so the community can learn from the experience.

I too came to this thread as a resuly of the BRS videos. Mona, if you are still monitoring this thread the only question I would ask is if you had ever had any other inverts besides the anamones and the soft corals? Such as shrinp or clams?

First I love the thread on the clown harem. I am a new member and actually came here searching for this thread in particular as a result of the recent BRS videos.
They tell me I can't PM you yet so.....
You mention "clicking the little red house" many times. Maybe I'm being dense or just "being a man" :uhoh3: but where is this little red house?
Thanks! And thanks again for sharing so diligently the adventure with the harem!
