Most viscous pair I have ever owned! Any fish gets near their nem it’s over! And there are three nems on three nems on the left side where the rocks are in this coral tank. You can see the males dorsal fin. It’s not healing up, and looking much better. I ended up giving the rusty angel away to a friend that was getting wrecked by these twos. I have a feeling they might be wild.
What I know about their history, they where kept in a tank with no nem. So when I got the pair they had a million things they could host. But they didn’t, torches, gonies, hammers, and gsp, but non ended up being a home form them. So they where not aggressive at all.
Have three nems in the same tank, a Colorado and Chicago Sunbust, and black widow. But I had them in baskets being I didn’t want them walking around possibly wrecking my tank. Well, the Colorado escaped, and can in looking at the tank was was like here we go. In finding the nem, I saw it took to the side of the tank with rocks. And actually ended up staying put for now 6 months maybe more. But when it got out the pair of Darwin’s went directly to it! So in then let the Chicago our and the black widow. And they are pretty much on the same side and two rock builds I have on that side with minimal walking which is super surprising!
Point being they went to be hosted instantly with the escaped convict, (Colorado nem that is. Haha), and that caught be surprised. I have owned many many captive bred clowns have yet to see any captive bred clowns go to a nem immediately if they came from a breeding facility, or from a tank they where not hosted by a nem or other coral. Now had they been hosted by all my other coral, I would say they were hosted by corals or nems in the tank they come from it’s a whole other story. Just my thinking here. But I think these two are wild fish, and auch a perfect pair! Looked for a long time for a pair like this. Being so many now from CB have many imperfections sadly and pinched head being one of them.
Just my theories nothing to prove to any one. And I’ll as a pic of them. You can see the dorsal fin on the male. He was more aggressive kinda wierd! Haha. They care super close to the same size, and a pair!
My duo only get mean and nasty when they are fixing to spawn, and even then it's just directed towards me they do not look at my fish sideways unless they get too close to the anemone.
