    A pair of Ocellaris clowns
    Been in the tank for an hour or two now, both are eating.

    I drip acclimated them both for an hour dumped them in and they both sat in small spaces on my reef saver rock. After 10 minutes one came out and inspected the other stayed put and finally got reunited with the other.

    But they both just hang out "hosting" my circulation fan and occasionally swim up and down the sides of the tank. Or at top of the water should i be worried about the this?

    That is normal for clowns, especially young clowns.

    Sometimes it can be quite frustrating. As they get older and more comfortable and used to the flow they will venture out more.

    Okay well that's a relief. Since i first posted they have since gone out and explored more and have a nice perch in the rock they both hide in.

    What's their diet consist of?
    They have been eating Mysis shrimp, Blood worms were a no go. I want to keep it mixed up a bit.

    I feed a quality pellet, and Rod's Foods (which is a great food), my clowns have always like cyclopeez as well. Mysid is good, but I think they should have some veggie too.
