Wow..awsome

Thanks...he is really cool. Loves that RBTA. He is a little guy right now. It's going to be pretty cool to watch his lighting pattern develop as he matures.

Beautiful!

So great!! You took some nice shots as well. its great to see the pattern. It will be really cool to see how the pattern develops as your beauty matures. If I didn't already have two pair of Picasso clowns, one pair in each of my two tanks, I would have been all over one of these unique beauties. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I actually had to divide my frag system for him as I currently have a pair of Wyoming Whites in there. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to get him. I know I would have kicked myself if I passed him up. I am probably going to set up a cube just for him so he has his own place.

Wow, can I ask how much you paid for this guy? And where did you get him from

Congrats on such a beautiful fish. Sick score are you going to get a mate for it?

mainereefer · Nov 25, 2014

awesome!! nice to see people finally getting these clowns.

Got him from my LFS. Paid $500 which is a little higher than what I have found on the net but they hand picked him from a bunch of them and held him at the store for me for 3 weeks. A bit pricey but I knew I wanted one from the very first time I saw the original one they caught from PNG.

Yes, I am definitely thinking about trying to pair him up.

not a bad price if you ask me! +1. on wanting one since the first was caught. I found out sea and reef had them breeding then had to wait until after they were shown off at macna before I got mine

I will say this is the meanest fish I have ever owned! not so much toward other fish (except the 2 mates she has killed) but if my hand goes in the tank I will get bit repeatedly.....

Congrats! awesome clown!

Thank you. Yea, he is definitely feisty. It's funny to watch. He bull rushes my hand everytime I do a water change and then retreats to his anemone. So funny. Tough little guy. Gonna be a brute when is full grown. Good luck with yours.
