Anyone want a previously used clown fish? Free?
Drive to palmdale, and come get him before I have to find way to put him down.

He started harassing my two smaller clowns this past several weeks. 16148848661328638692413611735515.jpg

I’m down in La. wish you were closer. Would love to get your “used” clown

I have a few tanks and more then Enough space- all tanks except one are with out clownfish- so he shouldn’t pick on anyone lol.

I am rarely in your area, do you ever come down this way?

i coudl come down there, maybe meet halfway, would you like a convicted murderer as well?
my larger hermit crab killed my arrow crab and then i saw him eating my mushrooms, so he has lived in a narrow part of the sump for months now.

i really would like them to have a happy life in another place.

sounds good to me!
i can do that any time.

i just need to find a way to safely catch and transport mean clown.

just double checking you don't want murderous-evil-life-threatening-darkside hermit. mine lives in an area 12 in long by 2 inches.

for those members in bated breathe over how it went: over 4 hours to catch a clown. the only way i caught him was to build a plexiglass divider, place it in the tank halfway, slowly remove rock onto other side until no rock was left on the clown side. then chase him with a net.

I gave bfragale the hermit, some sponge, and the clown. I made a life support system with battery powered air pump.

will i ever chase a fish again to try to save it? probably not, it seemed like a lot of stress, plus all my rocks were moved around. I did get to see my brittle star is now almost 24inches across after so many years.

bfragale had sympathy on me and gave me my first coral frags other than mushrooms and a toadstool (?). im excited i received them from him and made my day interesting to say the least. I got to see another real reefer, see how he did things and so on. over all a great experience because of this forum and bfragale.
