so my Elegant Coral, who is usually the WOW piece in the tank, has gotten the attention of my male clown....after almost two year! Not really sure if this is the reason the Elegant is acting up put I thought I would try something out to start eliminating possibilities...I’ll keep you all posted!!

Mine have taken to the galaxea coral, which luckily I'm not a huge fan of anyways (wife likes it). But it has been stinging the clowns to the point that they now have tons of black dots. Did yours get any spots?

The Elegant never stung the clown as far as I can see; although the clown is a ocellaris moca so he could have black sting marks all over but just can see them!

Clowns being clowns... LOL They often take to corals (and sometimes even powerheads or something else...so yeah...) as surrogate anemones. Crazy little fish!
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
