Also added a pic of my gonipora since it's kind of cool

I actually have two sets of clown fish. They tolerate each other in their little corner. Some what.

This really interests me!

Love this! How big is the rock and are these clones from splits or did you add them all? Also, what kind of rock/shape?

Voted! I have kept mine on an island (sort of). They will congregate on a rock or two near the top level of my tank and love it there. If my parameters get a little off they'll wander though looking for better spaces. I am the BTA wrangler!

Admit I do a sell off like once a year though to keep populations down

Here is my Nem island it took me about a month to train them to stay but holding strong for a year now.

Close up you can't even see the rock lol

I sure have! They did it themselves!!! All three moved to the same corner!!! There is a small rock about the size of a grapefruit they just love!

The rock is probably around a foot across. They are all splits from one.

My old tank which was a 700 also they literally took over my tank and killed anything they got near. So when I setup my new tank I wasn't going to have them anymore. So I got rid of most of my old rock that had anemones and mushrooms attached. I had this one large rock when i pulled all the rock to sell off and decided I would try to keep them but on an area by themselves. So when i aquascaped my new tank I put that one large rock by itself. In the last year I have had only one escape. I quickly scrapped him off glass.
