Default My Funny Clownfish

So , i've had these 2 clownfish for awhile now, they've lived through heaters sticking on, followed by large nitrate swing, and now are happy as can be. I picked up an GBTA a few months ago that's grown into a monster (10"-12" across). Seems like a perfect home for them. well, they're happier in zoo's apperently.

My GBTA, and his guardian cleaner shrimp (feed's the BTA even). The anenome's sweeper tenticle's along the bottom half pick food from the shrimp:



And this is where my clownfish are happily hosting. As you can see, the zoo's no longer close up when the clown's resting there:



And... this is the little blck spot's my clownfish are getting from the zoo's. Apperently common if they do host in zoo's, torch, hammer coral, and other's.





Anyways, thought i'd share. If anyone has idea's on how to ge them to move, let me know. Maybe they're scared of the BTA eating them? It did grab an entire mysis shrimp frozen cube yesterday...

Cleaner shrimp feeds the nem? I had a shrimp that did the opposite, tried to steal food from the nem when it was fairly new in the tank and not very sticky. After a while the shrimp no longer went near the nem. Just goes to show, you never know with these critters.
