I have had the Allard's in quarantine for a few weeks now, getting him acclimated, and he is doing well, about 1.5" in length. I decided to get him a LTA instead of a BTA as the BTA's available locally were not impressive and too expensive. I have not found any evidence of Allard's hosting a LTA in nature, but figured as part of the clarkii complex that I might get lucky.
Here are a few pics of the results - the LTA (around 4" inflated) had been in the tank for a few days already, and the clown took to it within 3 minutes. Now I am afraid he loves it too much, as the LTA has withdrawn a bit, so hopefully the clown's enthusiasm tapers off...
The aquarium is a BC14 running LED's, and has been up for well over a year, but I got bored with the previous layout and came across the clown (rather rare locally), so the corals were relocated to other aquariums of mine. I am going to keep this one simple...
