Guess what!?
woke up this morning, and my GSM was in the GBTA with the B&W! they weren't spawning or anything, but they were chillin in the same nem. I'm pretty stoked about it

heck yes
I wouldn't say they are actually a mated pair yet, but definitely a step in the right direction.

I highly doubt spawning will occur being that they are from completely different families in the animal kingdom
I invite anyone to PROVE ME WRONG!

I thought it was a sure thing...
j/k. I think we all know it's unlikely. But if you asked "will a GSM be ok in a 55 with a B&W?"
9 times out of ten, the answer would've been "no"
this is an experiment, hence the thread title lol
dalilgriffith - Did you know a B&W mated and had babies with a regular Maroon?

like Orion said, I've seen it too, but not gonna search right now : )

Okay:
Caption as quoted by RC Member Oama:
"This is a pic of a GSMxOCL clownfish. They were reared by jfrank100. This is his pic."
Next pic in Oama's gallery which happens to be better:
fwiw: These are not the only pictures or instances of Premnas and Amphiprion sp. breeding on Reef Central, but I did know where to find them quickest :>)
fwiw2: If you are really interested in the hybrids, there are some intense discussions under the search button.
fwiw3: Let's not bombard Oama with requests for pictures of fish which are not his, he now lists his occupation as "retired"
fwiw4: the reason for the separate classification of Premnas is the cheek spine.....quite small in the grand scheme of things.
Cheers all.

I found Ecotropic in the bushes behind my house btw Scott
Was his excuse, "Hunting for Chupacabra"?
Now if we can just round up BonsaiNut and MarinaP all in the same thread ;>)
elegance coral
They call me EC
Not only is the cheek spine a small and insignificant detail IMHO, but it also seems as though the scientists may have made a mistake when placing Maroons in this genus.

Moved on
I am not putting much stock in this article. What they wrote:
This is just plain wrong. I think the other two names are old, no longer accepted names of P. biaculeatus. There are no such thing as two other species of Premnas clowns. IMO, this put the whole article unreliable at best.
