Out of curiosity, why do they lose their color in a bubble tip or other type of nem?
Thanks

Why is precisely a difficult question and somewhat of a mystery to me. I just know that it happens. One person here strongly believes that color loss or gain is due to diet but to me that's not good enough argument based on evidence (diving and snorkeling videos on YouTube, photos of clowns in the wild) of black true Percula clowns being found in Gigantea anemones.

Strongly considering adopting a wild caught Semi-Picasso...If I can find a good potential mate for it, I might go for the semi-picasso.

My clowns totally ignored my BTA for 9 months, discovered it one day, now hardly leave it. Go figure"¦

Today is the 1 year anniversary of the clowns in my care. They still spawn on a regular basis. Below is a picture of them from today and of their 7 month old offsprings from yesterday.

Hey bud, thanks. Probably a smaller Crispa or small Haddoni. Definitely no Mag or BTA because I would hate for them to lose their black colors and turn orange. LOL
How are your blue and tan/purple gigs doing?

Can you elaborate or point me in the direction of some applicable reading. Do light anemones lighten clowns' color and darks darken? Same with torch corals?

You can see the most recent discussion of clowns losing/gaining color in this thread:

It's usually the Type of anemone, not color that causes color changes in clowns.
