Frogspawn and the clowns

[Jeanniee]

I have a beautiful frog spawn and now my pair of Ocellaris have decided it is a great substitute for an anemone. The frog spawn doesn't seem to mind the clown fish but I would hate for it to become irratated to the point of closing up. I don't have the lighting to support an anemone right now. Will the clowns adversely effect the frogspawn or should I just leave well enough alone?

My clowns have hosted my frogspawn for a few weeks now and everything seems OK.

... and mine for years without trouble. They do often find a suitable home within Euphyllia corals, hammer, f-spawn, etc. so no worries

good news, thanks. They are very cute playing hide and seek.

You dont have anything to worry about.


Mine use a rock with 5 hairy mushrooms on it. He uses the mushrooms like a pillow and lays sideways on them.

question for you Brooklyn8

question for you Brooklyn8

how long did it take your clowns to adopt the frogspawn? I have 2 mated false perc's and just put in some nice frogs a few days ago - so far no interest from the clowns... could it still happen?

About 6 months, my frogspawn has tripled in size and the clowns all of a sudden took notice.
