Kovuu,
Here are my 5 onyx when they first arrived in September 2008.
I still remember the morning I waited for FEDEX and the truck arrived. I looked at the bags and said to myself "***! I just paid close to $400 for these?" Lol, because they were so small and it looked kind of sad.
But when I poured them into the foam box and acclimate, it was love at first sight.
I'm not really sure how old they were, but just based on what I read about Rod only ship out his clowns after 6months or so. I was quite happy with the colors of them for a 6 months old clowns.
Notice the massive RBTA mountain behind them? Yeah....
November 2008. This was what happen after only two months in the RBTA. All the black was pretty much gone. I was very upset and sold all the RBTAs(more than a dozen of them) at a steep discount.
After selling all the RBTA in the tank, I was nemless for awhile. The clowns were hosting in the frogspawn above, goniopora, ricordia, clams, and basically anything soft in the tank.
After about out of the RBTA, the clowns gained their black.
Very nice pictures and write up. Looking at them has me wondering if my male could possibly color up to what yours currently appear like. His current coloration is just like the last picture of yours hosting the Gonipora. However seeing you say yours lost their coloration after hosting a RBTA has me wondering. My guy just started hosting the rose in the tank and I can only hope for the best. They are inseparable!
