Hi everyone, I'm very new to this forum and wondering if anyone can help. I've had tanks for years (more freshwater than salt,) and have helped a family with usual care on their saltwater tank. It's about a 280-300gal tank and they have 3 clownfish. There's a large black ocellaris who I'm certain is female, and 2 snowflakes, a medium and small(introduced at the same time but not as a pair.) I'm just really curious as to what's going on.
The large black seems to have bonded with the medium snowflake, they hangout in the same area all the time. Then the large black one chases the small snowflake every chance she gets! The small snowflake hides in its "safe space" but the medium snowflake will come to check on it? Then the small clown will head up and nudge it near its pelvic fin and has also done what I think is the "submissive dance," it'll shake vigorously in an area the medium snowflake can see . Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I've heard 3 clowns isn't an ideal number...is there any advice I could give to this family?
