    Clowns hosting elegance

    I have a huge elegance coral that my black and whites have decided to host in. The female is about 4 inches, the male a little smaller. This elegance ate a cleaner shrimp the other day. Do you suppose it will eat my clowns?

    Absolutely stunning pictures! However, I hope your Clownies don't end up getting eaten. : (

    Just thought I would let you all know that the clowns are still kicking and the elegance seems to be starting to like the clowns. At first it would close up late at night but now it seems to be staying open 24/7. The clowns fins seem a little tore up but that may be due to my coral beauty angel trying to constantly fight them since they moved in.

    I think if anything the clown would be more dangerous to the coral. I've had Euphyllia die from too much clown love.

    I wouldn't worry about the fish unless he becomes weak/sick.

    Interesting that the coral will not close up at night now...
