Clown Hosting With Condy

[Principal_P]

This past December I made the switch to Red Sea Pro salt. I did a 25 gal change in my 75 gal tank. Knowing what I know now I should have mixed the fresh change with with partial old salt & new salt to make a smoother transition...but I didn't. I put my new RO/DI unit to work and made the switch. It apparently shocked my BTA. It's still hanging on, peeking out every once in a while, but for the most part I think it's beyond recovery. It turned dark and my tomato clown has lost hope. What's interesting is he's now begun to host in my Condy. All the reading I've done says they don't take hosts. The clown left it alone until the BTA crashed and I guess has learned to make the best of it.

Pretty clown and anemone. Condys aren't natural hosts, but it happens sometimes in captivity.

I got my pair from Petco. I couldn't believe my eyes, a clown hosting the condy. I have only seen maybe a handful that will host. Here is mine. The clown loves the condy.

Here is mine. I got super lucky to find this pair.
