Clownfish Separation

[ParkerK]

For some reason I turned on my lights for a little bit a few minutes ago (it’s 2:40 AM) and I noticed that my clown fish were on opposite sides of the 30 gal tank. They’re always together. How come they are separate late at night? Seemed like the female was unfazed that I was right up against the glass, seemed like she was just rubbing the glass! Also, any tips on how to keep acroporas from losing color... thanks!

The rubbing of glass seems to related to laying eggs, but don't be worried about the two clowns being split up. Clownfish are moody weirdos. The female may have (literally) gotten annoyed at the male and chased him to the other side of the tank. Don't be worried, its normal. I also have a 30 long and have noticed this before.

Those little fellows are always up to something

Indeed. My female hosts my large RBTA, and the male hosts a large torch. At night, however, they both sleep in the anemone.

Nice! Don’t be alarmed if they don’t host it for a few months. IMO they are most likely to host a larger anemone, or one that is constantly around them.
