Finally! A platinum clown is home

[SnoopyDaPimp]

So after eight months my RBTA finally hosted one of my platinum clown fish. Have been trying to get a picture of him hanging out in his new home but every time I get near the tank he leaves and comes to see me. Going to have to be sneaky so I can get a picture of it.

Trying staying low and moving slow. My fish do this as well when they see me since they think I'm going to feed them. I've put a towel over myself a couple of times so they don't see me while I take pics lol. Let's see some pics when you do. Hope that helps

8 months!! I would have been hitting my head against the wall waiting for it to happen. :headwallblue:

I've got two choices for my perculas, a sunset bta and a red bta. My clowns haven't even noticed them. I do have a case of cyano in my sandbed that I've been battling for a few months and they both lately have started to snuggle up with a small hill of cyano LOL Go figure. I think my cyano is on the downslope and will remove a bunch of it today when doing my two week wc. Hopefully sooner or later the perculas decide to check out my nems... er their nems

He hasn't gone near it since that day. I thought it was finally happy with the RBTA. Spent the day rubbing against it and swimming in and out. Going to have to camp out and catch it happening.

Photo to show it did happen! Caught him coming out finally.

Very cool! Nice anemone and clownfish. Thanks for sharing.

Love it when they have a helmet. You keep calling it him, but judging by "his" size, without a mate you might want to check between the legs again, if you know where I'm going here.

He was the male when he had a mate. He got moved from another tank after the female got snatched by my haddoni. Been watching out for a nice mate to pick up so it can get in the qt.

My LFS got in some more platinum clowns in the other day and I picked one up. The waiting game begins.

Good luck. Are you gonna try raising some fry?

I've got one of those that's been living I my overflow for a year now... Just haven't had the time or help to get him out....
