<a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/hitheresmiley.gif" border=0></a>Hi all, I'm fairly new to reef central. My experience is in south american freshwater. I have had a GSP for quite awhile now, he's wonderful. I've recently ventured into salt setting up a 10G tank to start. If all goes well I'd like to upgrade to a 37 oceanic cube with stand. We shall see. <a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/fingerscrossed.gif" border=0></a>

My tank has been set up for just over 10 weeks now. I have 14lbs liverock, fiji and marshal islands, 5 baha crabs, 2 Astraea snails, several clean up crew members ie, tiny starfish, hightops exc... I have a peppermint shrimp, a bi-color blennie and as of yesterday a false percula clown. <a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/clownfishie.gif" border=0></a> I look forward to comments, advise and trading information with you all. <a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/hugsmile1.gif" border=0></a>Here's the photo's...

<a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/toolminis/xtext_qmark.gif" border=0></a>I do have a clown question... <a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/clownfishie.gif" border=0></a>


Last night the clown spent the night swimming in one spot mid level in the corner. The blennie stays in the artificial clam all night. I have no interest in getting a live anenome, will a clown host a fake one? He is tank raised, not wild caught. Is a clown supposed to have a place to stay in at night? Any suggestions are appreciated. <a href="http://www.millan.net"><img src="http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/hugsmile1.gif" border=0></a>

Clowns will host just about anything. Mine was hosting my mag-float a few days ago. Seeing as how your clown was tank raised, if you want it to host coral or something you may have to get a non tank raised clown to teach it. Or it may eventually do it itself. Yes clowns stay in one place at night when they sleep.

My clowns have always used the upperback corner to retreat to at night!
