Bleached Gig at Day 1 and Week 5

Here is a pic of the Gig at Day 1 and the other 3 are how he looks today at Week 5. Still unsure of what color he will be. He seems to be browning more each day. I have fed him everyday since since day 7.

Looking good. The nem is the host, technically speaking.

Ya, I know. but sometimes it seems like the other way around. The Nem seems so much happier with the Clownfish frolicking through the tentacles

The host/symbiont distinction has nothing to do with the "happiness" of the parties to the relationship. The host is simply defined as the larger organism in which the smaller symbiont resides. That said, the clown/anemone relationship is an example of mutualism, i.e, both organisms benefit from the association.
