It's nice to know that Wareagle.
lfs told me they had to be all the same size. I could have wrote a book on all the things they've told me thats been wrong,if it wasn't for 3reef and being able to ask all these newbie Q's [sorry], and read about all the problems you guys have been though in your reefing days I don't know if I'd still be trying to learn how to do this!! thanks for all the help!

Nope, you're good. The bigger they are the longer it takes to pair normally. Trust me, if your female was going to kill the male (if one's not dead yet you don't have 2 females) then it would have done so by now. I recommend that you simply ignore the tank for a few days (more for your own stress relief than anything else).

I can't begin to express how normal that behavior is. It simply seems that you have the rare pair that takes longer to warm up to each other.

Blood shrimp are renown for being extremely shy. He's probably going to find a little cave to hide in and not come out. Typically once the fish know he's there they will go to him.

I'm glad your clowns are fine.
