Digging Maroon Clowns

[jonahshark]

Hi all,

So I'm watching tv tonight and I look over and there's a huge plume of sand under my RBTA! It happens over and over again and when I stand a little away and watch it looks like the female is swishing her tail and fanning the sand away. Now she's spitting rocks away from the area under the RBTA. Is this nesting??

Thanks,

Jonah

My Occs started doing the same thing around the base of their haddoni and the anemone didn't like it,,,it started to move all over the tank. I filled the sand back in around the foot of the anemone and put a couple of ceramic tile fragments there so they couldn't waft the sand away ,,,, a month later they spawned on the tiles.

I haven't had a premnas for a couple of years but as I recall they used to do it all the time.
