Harmful?

[Titus77]

Hello. Is it going to really harm the pulsing xenia if this saddleback clown thinks that the coral is a host?

 

[dalilgriffith]

No, it might get some spots on its side from rubbing up against the xenia but it shouldnt hurt the xenia

 

[Titus77]

Why would the clown get spots on it's sides? And I read in another post about clowns "getting-it-on" in Xenia?

Some Xenia are bothered by it initially, but often get used to it. It depends a bit on how, er, attentive the clowns are to the Xenia.

Well, the clown is very attached to the Xenia, and is lightly rustling in it. The Xenia seem to like it, because they are still open. I have not seen any markings on the clown, however.

Well it can certainly kill the coral. My maroon when through some huge clove polyps, and a colt coral.

:lol: !!!LOL!!! :lol:


Its sad too, because I have lost, I think, about 5 anemones (various types) to the overpowering powerhead. So that is why I invented a cover made for powerheads that blend in with the rest of the aquascape. I have used these covers for over 2 years, and they have not sucked anything into them but water. And the powerheads still perform as if the covers were not even there! If you are interested in buying a few, or need to know some more information about them, either PM me or email me at: riceaustin@gmail.com. Thanks! :mixed:
