    Thanks for sharing the pics of your tank. You might want to get on the hairy stuff before it gets worse. What kind of NO3 and PO4 levels do you have?

    yea the hair algae I am battling right now had a dragon wrasse and couldn't realy have a cleanup crew in the tank due to it eating them so it was geting out of controle nitrate leveles are rock bottom and phos I dont know dont have a test kit for that but just got rid of the dragon yesterday and added 12 blue leg hermits and 2 merythrax crabs and the sail fin tang all of wich have been eating the algae like mad not to mention I just harvested a ton of it out after those pics were taken

    the flame fin tang was doing what he could but beeing the only tang in there and the only fish that ate the algae at the time of the pics it was just to much for him to eat

    but now he has lots of help

    as for the clowns yes and no that they swim around in a pack but they definetly host in my bta nem together all piled ontop of each other cause it closes down to about 2" diameter sucked into the rock at night so one burries itself and the other 2 pile on top LOL I will have to get a pic one of these days

    and thanx for the good comments
