So, I never planned on having anything but a small clean up crew in the tank for atleast another 1-1.5 months, but with my 10G contest tank breaking on me this morning, I had to save some stuff out of the tank.

So I swapped over the GSP tower and positioned it next to the left locline with the plan of it overgrowing it and hiding it, Also pulled the Fragspawn out as well as a small patch of zoa's (next to the right locline).. and then I had to move the Pom Pom crab and the Black Hawaiian Percula (as he would get sh*t kicked in my 20G by the Angel).. The rest of the corals from the 10 on in my 20 on the frag rack, while I decide what to do with them.

Anyways, quick FTS and a shot of my Pompom crab.

Nor did I, but they came in on a Hawaiian shipment to Red Coral 2 weeks ago I think... I'm not really too bothered if its not hawaiian, its a nice freakin' clown.

Be forewarned. My clown was about the same size as yours and he spent the first few weeks getting caught in the overflow every night. It took a while but he finally learned not to get sucked into the overflow at night. Hope yours is smarter than mine was.

im kinda confused, because i thought there was no clownfish in hawaii because their larval stage doesnt last long enough for them to drift to the islands. but i could be wrong

You just HAD to say that.... Figured I would go take another look at the tank, for no reason... and I notice the clown missing... Hmmm, Where did he go??? Looked all over the tank, the floor, the overflow.... No where to be found. That's because he went for a ride... All the way to the sump and into my dirty filter sock.. Poor lil guy..

So needless to say the make-shift drain cover didn't work to well... So I have draped my fish net over it for the night so atleast if his dumbass gets sucked into the overflow, that's where he will be in the morning..
