Clown fish killing coral ?

jarrid · #1 01-05-2011, 05:17 PM

I have two clownfish in my tank that like to brood in my corals, but my corals are dying everytime they do, they then switch to another and it inevitably dies as well. Is there another reason this could be happening ? I found a bumblebee snail and removed him because I know they eat coral, but it still happens.

get them some hosting anemone and they will leave your coral alone maybe?

I have an extra green bubble tip anemone if you want it. Not sure if it will host those clowns or not though.

Ya I guess I could try one, how much u want for him and how big is he ?

He is free and his disk is about the size of a Loonie? Bigger or smaller depending on his mood. If you feed it a lot it will grow and split and you will have a mini colony.

If you want it PM me since I am not getting updates from canreef at the moment, something to do with shaw apparently?
