    i work until the early hours of the morning and i always come home to sleeping clownfish. I think its pretty neat so i thought i would share it with you guys. The little one prefers to host the actinodiscus mushroom, while the big one just like to dig beds in the sand (up to a couple inches deep) and lay in them.
    enjoy!!

    Mine dug a bunker too and used to sleep in it, but now he sleeps on the glass away from it. If I mess up the sand even just a little in that bunker while cleaning, he still rebuilds it though. Guess he keeps it in tact in case I decide to get a trigger one day.

    hmm, thats quite interesting, flaring afro. clownfish are very comical fish. i enjoy watching mine interact with one another. they seem to have much more fun as a pair than they would individually.
