    if you want him to host something different try taping a picture of a clownfish hosting whatever you want it to host, should work. im pretty sure a black clown with a per would be sweet haha i might get an orange perc. oh btw i changed my rock and it looks kinda cool now haha. and my lfs has all these mini frags of coral that are like 5-10$ with the acception of an acan. so im gonna buy my 1 head of torch, get the clown to host then spend like crazy haha

    @ the dude with the algae problems: try emerald crabs. and if you can avoid tap water. i use premade. and i shake it up right before i change. also while killing my favorite lil aiptasia (he was spreading too much lol) and using the tank water i boiled i sprayed the algae and the next day it was gone lol probably just chance but thought i'd let you know. if you have any other question try the algae bored.

    edit: yeah that was my tank lol (with the algae)

    i just got a baby clownfish too (picasso) and he's doing the same thing. he's getting more comfortable now and starting to explore the rest of the tank. He gave me a heart attack this morning; he was swimming in place in the corner of the tank! I was so worried he died!
