    I'm not sure what they're called, but they are long (about 3 inches) white, have yellow lips, and filter sand through the gills, maybe a poly jaw? We have two, they've built a home out of shells. And now I know why one has been acting weird, jarting around the home while the other one just swims along...she has a glop or mass of grey-ish eggs. Would that have anything to do with the Nitrate level being high? Also should I leave the egg's in there? Will they hatch? They're not attractive fish, I'd rather the clowns have babies! :-/

    I doubt the eggs are responsible for the nitrate. Nice find though.
