Hey,
Just a few quick questions. Im new to reef keeping and never had Clown fish before. Purchased my first 2 clowns about 5 days ago.
My questions are.....
Why is it that my clowns swim around alll night? Do clowns rest like most other fish at night? Sometimes i see the large female swim to my plate coral(i unfortunately dnt have an anemone yet) and swim into it at night face first and stay there for a few seconds but the plate coral soon retracts all its tentacles and the clown fish has no where to rest?
Also why does the female snap her mouth together 7 or 8 times in a row and making a snapping noise with her mouth?
My tank is about 7 weeks old..... what anemone can i look at getting that the Ocellaris clowns will take to? One that might be easy to look after and not too boring in colour?
Any other important notes i should know about keeping ocellaris clowns?
Should i turn the pumps off when feeding? And what sort of things other then fish pellets and shrimp can i feed them?
