I can’t see your video with my phone but clowns tend to stake out a small area to claim as there own. My two clowns have chose the power head that is in the right upper side of my tank. Clowns being clowns. Good luck with the BTA hosting your clowns, that is an awesome sight to see.

That worked. That’s wher they staked out there claim. Hopefully when you get your nem and it picks a good spot they will move in. I’ll look forward to a picture. You can see where mine hangout.

Clowns do as clowns do. There's not even close to a guarantee it will even be hosted by the nem.

Often clowns do this. I have 9 and 4 of them stay at the top. Smart as they are the first to get the food from auto feeder

Mine do the same. Got them a 40 breeder and they swim less than when they were in a 13.5 Evo. They mainly stay at the top around the HOB. The male was starting to hang out under my nem, but since the move, the nem has been all over the place and not settled in.

My auto feeder goes off at 11:30, the clowns start hanging out below about 11.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
