RE: Video: Documenting the bonding of a Clownfish and Anemone from the beginning

I posted this in the general discussion section and someone suggested I post here. Sorry, didn't realize there was an Anemones and Clownfish section. :sad2: Moderators are going to kill me.

Original message:

How does bonding happen between a Clownfish and Anemone? I have read about it but never seen it from the time of introduction of the two species. Since no video exists that I could find, I wanted to document by video when I introduced an Anemone to my tank that already had a Clownfish and other fish. Of course some bonding happened only with the Clownfish. I bought this Clownfish when it was very young (it had been tank bred). It was definitely exciting for me to watch and wanted to share with you. Let me know what you think.

Very cool video, thanks for sharing! Is your rbta partially bleached? It appeared to be less vibrant in color when you showed the rbta six months later. What kind of lighting do you have?

Excellent Video.. Nice job.

The BTA did not close up due to the fish. It close initially due to the amount of current it got when you blasted it with the wave maker. I notice that later, the periodic current was not there.
