Some fish are just crazy and I want to hear your story.

I have a pair of clowns that are as good as gold except when it comes to mt algae magnet. LOL! They will leave my hands alone even when I move their coral home that they host and do not bother fish. But when I start using the magnet they go crazy on it, biting it, ramming it all over the tank. The follow it from corner to corner of the tank and they never leave their coral for anything even food!

What about you?

My clownfish follows things like a sheep. When there was a sick male clown it pretended to be sick until the male died and then the next day it was swimming around again. I am pretty sure that it does not know that it is a clownfish. It copies what other fish do. I recently added a midas blenny and it lays on my mag-float all day and all night long. The clownfish shoves the blenny of and lays on the mag-float now! :tongue: He has no interest in his anemone. Instead he is enamored by this blenny. :hammer: He even sleeps by the mag-float all night long. Today he has decided to cuddle the blenny. He just goes over and lays on the blenny


Here is a pic of the dork -

I also added a Skunk Tilefish and now the clown tries to fit into the rocks where the tilefish hides :bigsmile:

Clownfish sure are crazy. Yours has alot of character

I just recently bought a little tank-raised percula. He swims up at the front corner and was poking his head out so I stuck my finger in a little and he robbed on it petting himself.
Still shy from the rest of the tank since he's new.

I scraped some of the Coraline from my back glass and now my Solon fairy can see his reflection and keeps trying to beat it up and splashing water out of the tank.

My tilefish gets so excited when feeding that it sticks the upper half of its body out of the water and swims around like a dolphin. Very weird/funny. But since he is out of the water so often he gets salt creep ALL OVER the splash shield for my lights :tongue:
