Beautiful Kev, I've never managed to get my clowns to host anything.

I was in my petco couple of days ago and there was a tomato clown hosting a condy anemone.
Couldn't believe it.
Never seen a condy do anything and all I've ever seen a tomato do was chase and kill.
They wanted $15 for the pair, clowns were half off.
Almost pulled the trigger but left my wallet in the truck.

As much as I liked my lid and how economical it had turned out, I couldn't risk losing another fish like my old Royal Pencil Wrasse and my Halichoeres Chrysus because there was a gap and they jumped through there. A friend gave me a good price on a lid and I chose it divided into 2 to be able to access the tank without having the tank 100% uncovered since I have a couple very skittish fish.

With my big drop in alkalinity my clove polyp disappeared completely and the plug was there for days, when I fixed the problem and decided to remove it I noticed that I had 2 little ones, the storm trooper came at the perfect time because it let me move the frag around

My daughter stenciled a Gaelic Storm logo on some t-shirts for those who didn't have one. The band told us those were bootleg (jokingly), but the lead singer, Patrick Murphy, said that we were the only people allowed to do that because we'd have to "sell the farm" to buy everyone a t-shirt.
 
Warning! Photo dump coming of some cool fish. Took these while picking up some rock from a guy in Tampa Bay. The Scrawled Cow Fish he caught right in the Bay yesterday. It is about 8" in size.
