    I placed a small colt coral on towards the top of the reef, thinking it would get better light and water movement (it wasn't growing), and during "lights off" the maroon clownfish came up and moved him back down to the sand. Did I move the coral to the wrong spot or is my clownfish playing games?

    lol thats funny i wish my clowns did crazy stuff like that,they wont host anything, all they do is eat.

    i moved my colt to the top for the same reason, it was a drab cream color, it turned completly neon green almost neon yellow, but still dose not get any bigger, had it for 8 months not an inch bigger but an insane green color.
