I've read an article - if you stick a pic of a clown hosting an anemone against the tank, it encourages your clown to do the same, works apprently  _________ You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words  |

I think the picture thing would work, cause as soon as one of my clowns was in it, the other saw it and followed in about 5 minutes...

I haven't seen mine doing anything special.

Nice to see shrimp working for you.
Both shrimp and fish need right instincts. Not always the case.
And, of course, some kind of parasite for shrimp to "clean." Not always just ICK. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
