Our clowns are just babies, and they tend to hang out near a yellow sea whip or the power heads or just suspend in the tank. Well today the larger of the two started hosting in some coral (forgot name please Id if you can). I'm assuming it is hitting puberty so to speak as they usually hung out together though lately not as much and now "she" doesn't seem to be concerned about anything else but hiding in this coral....

Only other change was I just cleaned the skimmer.... And yesterday I added chopped oysters to the feeding regimen.

 
Looking at their selection it may be captive bred, but I do know that they get a lot of corals etc from wild, possible the fish (sometimes) may be wild. All speculation based on emails from them without actually asking directly about it
 
Hard to tell they type of coral because of the white balance but it looks like it could be a goniporia or an alveopora. The coral may be bleached or it may just be the lighting and the camera.

Thnx, goniporia sounds familiar... Its not bleached, its the lights/camera...

Did a Google of the gonioporia and its definitely that.
