RBTA and clown question

[Bobby A.]

So after a ton of research I decided to pick up a RBTA and a pair of clowns. I found one at a LFS that had a small pair of Pink Skunk clowns hosting in it... I mean really rubbing it down. So I pulled the trigger. In the bag they wouldnt leave it. I drip acclamated them all together and got them in the tank. I put the anemone in first and allowed it to attach its foot (it had no bubbles in the bag but after 2 mins in my tank its full of bubbles) I pulled the clown out and released them right at the anemone (mainly because I have a Mystery Wrasse that is kind of a bully) but they both went straight in. They have all been in for about an hour the anemone looks amazing. After about 10 mins one clown ventured out then about 45 mins later the other one did. now they are not going back in it. Do you think they are just exploring the new tank? The mystery wrasse is not picking on them but checking them out and one is trying to hide in a sea star.

Sorry for the novel. Thanks ahead of time.

Yes exploring the new surroundings.

They will go back.

Now this is not like a tattoo... because once it is there, it is there.

My clowns roam the whole tank at different times. They check back in and sleep in it at night

Agreed, when I introduced my pair. The first 24-48hrs they wouldn't even venture out of the nem. Now I noticed the female enjoys wading under the nearby live rock during the day (lights on) I'm assuming she's staking her claim to that area. She'll venture back to the nem once in awhile but not for long.. When lights go off she goes back in the nem. The male hasn't left the nems to explore yet.. he's there all day, all night, all the time..

Ok hopfully they will go back. I came home today to find them both swimming at the far back of the tank and surface of the water. I was thinking my Mystery wrasse was bullying but I havent noticed him pay them any attention.

Im running a MP10 in lagoon mode on about 75% power is there a chance that is too powerful for them and they cant swim in the area around the RBTA?
