He looks pretty sweet to me. Probably worth a lot of money too.

You know what they say Tri. There's a sucker fish born every minute

Over the weekend, the babies got an upgrade: out of the restroom and into larger grow out tanks. Now they're taking up the fireplace.
I was so nervous about netting them that I ended up chasing them into drinking cups. Took over an hour just to catch them all!
The Novembers are back to living in their pink anemone
And the Decembers are still uncountable. I attempted to count while moving them but then just gave up entirely!

Here's an update on them. The pics aren't the clearest--they swim too fast!
The November batch are about the size of a jellybean now. Some have their 2nd stripe coming in but I noticed the 2nd stripe comes in a lot slower.
Here's the Dec batch. They already recognize humans as the food source. It's quite amazing to see dozens of tiny clowns come up for food when they see me!

Do it!
I got a little crazy with the tile bc for awhile, my clowns would refuse to lay their eggs on the tile. So every time the eggs hatched i would glue a new tile over that area. I think I had 3 tiles surrounding my anemone at one point until they gave up!
Larvae traps work well too. I tried it on Tri's clowns' clutch of eggs and they do catch larvae rather efficiently. I didn't use it on mine bc I heard that the gigs would eat the larvae shortly after hatching .

Reefhotspot was so early 2000's , huh? Lol! The project was initially to fill a tank that I set up, but looks like I'm going to have a bunch of babies left. The interest seems to be there so I'll likely sell the ones left to local reefers (keep an eye out for a FS thread soon!) and then trade in the rest at the lfs for store credit.
But hey, if there's anyone else interested in setting up a group of true percs and needs a large clutch of clowns to get started, LMK!
