How do you know that he is a novice salty because he only has a few posts? Or do you know him personally.
Everyone has to start somewhere. If I had posted that as my first post would I be labeled the same way. I have been in and out of this hobby since the 1980's but only joined Canreef this year.
If he wants a group of them in one tank who are we to tell him he can't.

This post made me think he's a novice salty:

Who told him he can't? I suggested that there is an easier way. Isn't that what these boards are for? Giving people a heads up when they're pointed for troubles? Helping people out? I don't see your issue...

Said he set up another tank for his girlfriend. His tank could be a 300 gal SPS for all we know, and you recommended he only get two as he apparently does not know. I would think nothing of keeping that many in one tank dedicated to just clowns, but I guess technically you did not say he can't. I retract my statement.

I know a couple people who have tried the school of clowns with a carpet of different anemones thing, and they both had major issues with fighting once the fish got a bit older. I suppose I should have said that he sounds like a novice salty. I would think if he had a 300g SPS tank he would call a coral by name other than "big tree branchy coral", but hey who knows I suppose. Either way, I TRIED to suggest he go to a knowledgable LFS to help him out because it sounds like he may need a bit of a hand in the right direction.

Sounds like good advice to me.

ok guys I just wanted to let all of you know that I have a 90gallon reef tank, 180gallon reef tank and also put up a 55gallon tank and i was thinking of getting a 280gallon tank by next year. Now, just casue i never post anything up on this website doesn't mean I don't know shi t all. Infact I have connections with Ron the onwer at king eds and also got some friends that work at JL's. I can get the clowns for $9 a piece but I just put this thread up cause maybe someone breeds them that can sell for cheaper. Thanks for noones help except for
