I have a mated pair of Clowns. I recently purchased the Ecoxotic One Touch Contoller to simulate sunrise/sunset. The controller dims the white lights off first and then the blue actinics next. As soon as the white lights go completely out and the it's just the blue actinics on the bigger clown starts chasing the smaller clown all over the tank attacking him. The clowns look black and white under the blue lighting so the only thing I can think of is that it thinks the other clown is a different species of clown. It's so weird. So now I have to dim both the white and blues at the same time so the smaller clown isn't getting attacked.
