I recently bought a protein skimmer and turned it on, Ive read that it can take a few days for it to break in and during that time can cause micro bubbles, which is happening.
Video of the micro bubbles
As soon as the bubbles started one of my clowns went crazy and swam to the corner and now...
My female clownfish is slowly starving, and I don't know what to do. She has always had a wonky looking mouth and jaw, that has never opened and closed like our male clownfish, who has a normal looking mouth. She never used to have issues with eating, however I have noticed recently that her...
Hey guys, new reefer here. I’m worried about 2 of my corals so I thought I’d see what you guys think.
4 days ago, we received 3 frags from corals anonymous. Our Duncan coral is doing great, but both the candy cane and GSPs have looked bad since they got here. The GSP was flaking and had some...
Hello. So I have a regular ocellaris clown and a mocha storm clown. The plain OC is larger than the storm. I had them both in my 6 gallon nano reef tank, and long story short I learned the hard way and didn’t quarantine and OC started acting weird for a few days but went back to normal after...
Hey everyone, I hope all you are doing well. As I said in the title I would love to keep an angelfish, a butterfly and a tang if possible. And I am not planning on getting a bigger tank. My tank is 80W x 42D x 65 cm. Here is the list of the fish that I am interested in getting. Pls note that i...
So I guess this is a little update on a thread I made a few days ago. I had this issue with my overly aggressive female clown towards my new juvenile male clown. I bought a breeder box and put the female in there and it’s been about 3 days since and the male has yet to even attempt to explore...
In the wild, Wide-band Clownfish are found in rocky and coral reef habitats, at depths of 10-45 meters, in Eastern Australia, Lord Howe, and New Caledonia. Like most clownfish, the Wide-band Clownfish is known to create a symbiotic relationship with anemones, which they use as a source of...
Hi, so I just started my 15g AIO cube with a friends 8 year old sump live rock that’s got tons of bacteria on it and copapods. I was given as a gift 2 clowns and a green bubble top nem. Tank is only a week old with the 8 year old rock, bacteria filled sea water filled, and dr Tim’s was used as...
I have a female black storm clownfish and recently I bought a black snowflake clownfish in hopes of a pair. The male I bought is a juvenile so he is much smaller than the female. I know when it comes to clowns pairing nothing is guaranteed but the female is being very aggressive with him and the...

I've posted in a few places about my otherwise undocumented 15 gallon cube, which was the first marine aquarium I ever set up. It passed 2 years old in November and I've learned a lot about what to do and not do on that tank. It's been rescaped once and treated with different things. Generally...
I've had my clowns for about three weeks now, my bigger clown (the spaz one) has been swimming like this quite often, especially when the blues come on. She likes to glass surf a lot during the day and swim into the power head, she mainly only doesn't spaz out during feeding, she will start...
I would like some opinions on the flow of my tank, I have a Sicce 357gph pump on max for my 20g IM. My Clowns tend to stay at the top left of my tank and my other one likes to stay at the back right near the return, they do come out and explore, the smaller one more than the big one but I'm...
This is my first saltwater tank so I'm still learning clownfish behavior, I have two perc clowns (about 1.25 -1.5in) LaFawnda (bigger one) and Kip (smaller)
LaFawnda likes to hangout at the front left top of my tank for 80-90% and the other 10% she rides the current from the wave maker or will...
Hi all,
This morning before I went to work I decided to look at my clowns and I noticed this redness on them, I just have a video of the one but it looks like the other clown also has the same thing in the same spot, I never noticed it before, is this something to be concerned about?
I have a poorly clown fish and poorly mandarin. We are suspecting fin rot, can anyone confirm? Both are very lathergic, Clown is still eating, mandarin not really moving. Both seem to be struggling to breathe, laying on the bottom on the tank appearing lifeless :( Not managed to get a good photo...

Hi Guys
I was just about to do my weekly water change and noticed what looks like eggs attached to my rock next to where my clownfish are hosting a BTA.
Are these eggs? They have never laid eggs before. If they are eggs what should I do with them?

Temp 76.0 F
With another Picasso, 6th line Wrasse, YWG, and a CB Shrimp.
All others are doing well.
