Thanks to Donny for all the help in running everything safely to Knoxville and to Runner for coordinating!
Kim--The pair of clownfish is beautiful. They are settling into their new home and have eaten several light meals. They hang out together underneath a tile shelter and come out whenever I'm near the tank.

Donny, thanks! I was worried about him. He totally freaked out when he came out of the tank.
I had the roayl gramma quite a while and it hid most of the time.
After all the rocks came out, I found the snail I was looking for. He was left in the tank and is still in there wondering what he missed. It's sort of sad to see him in there by himself.

I thought this was as good a place as any for an update:
It's been a little less than three months; the ocellaris clown pair have put on some weight lately, and this evening, they are laying their first nest. The eggs are bright orange
, and there are ~100 so far, but they don't look to be anywhere near finished yet. The pair actually look like they know what they are doing (male is fertilizing properly and all), unlike some other "first attempts" I have witnessed. A new spawning is always exciting, but I thought this one was worth sharing. Their tank is dirty ATM 
, so I will try to get a picture when I clean it tomorrow (don't want to disturb them right now!)

Unfortunately, the parents consumed the eggs during the night. This happens occasionally, but I hope that they learn to be good parents 
With any luck they will give it another go in a couple of weeks or so. I didn't realize that they were so close to spawning untill yesterday afternoon when they were cleaning vigorously and the female had her ovipositor down, so I may not have been feeding them enough. I will still try to get a picture of the pair so you can see how they're doing.
