    OMG! I had no idea clown fish were really this retarded!! LOL I knew they were called "clown" fish because of their funny way of swimming at times and do act funny sometimes, but I really am starting to think that should rename them "special Ed fish"... it just seems more siutable LOL but I do suppose most uptight people would be offended by that name LOL.

    they are very stupid indeed! when i take a cupful of water to do water tests, i have to make sure i dont scoop out my clown fish!! multiple times he swims into the cup just as i go to scoop out some water, i guess he thinks he is moving to a bigger tank! also my clown nestles really hard into my frogspawn but mine doesnt seem to mind.

    Mine does it to her BTA. Maybe it's like putting your tongue to a 9V battery =)

    My clown tried to take a chunk out of my hand as I was feeding him some mysis shrimp the other day! (his favorite) His new name is Simon What do you think? He always looks mad as a march hare

    Well if you look at it. Each polyp has only a single pink tip on each polyp. Frogspawns usually have 3 or more, and each tip is slightly wider than the base of the polyp. Thats a hammer coral.
