Sad clown

[timthetoolman]

My female has been alone with the tang for 3 years and I introduced a new juvi about 3 weeks ago. I believe he has already started the transformation to a male and began cleaning and 'dry runs' on the small 3 x 3 floor tile I placed in their sleeping area which is WAY sooner than I expected but because of their size difference, age, and tank familiarity with the female, there was 0 fighting. It's like they were old friends which was totally unexpected too but very reasonable concidering the circumstances.

By a host I wasn't speaking about an anenome just a coral they will host untill the tank is older, if I do get one I'm not sure yet.

Here's a few pics

Forgot to turn my powerheads off, oh well.

It's still a little messy (algea and just after eating)

You will get algae for the first year till it balances out. You'll also see the small critters come and go until it matures. It's kind of like your tank tries out a bunch of stuff and settles on what it likes.
I like what you did with the rocks, is that a cave with frog spawn?
I guess your comment about him being sad is translated into she is designed to reproduce and without a male she may act differently, mine did without a mate. She's a lot more active now.

It's a Torch Coral, it's alot greener especially the tips. You can't really see in the pics but under the top rock is a large opening, you can see inside the rock from all angles.
