Hi all, so I've seen my clowns grazing on green and purple algae, quite often, the frame eats small chunks of it at times often on the glass or rocks. Is this normal? I know they are omnivores but never heard or seen them eat algae before this. They get fed regularly and are nice and plump. It always seems to be the same spots over and over again. Should I be concerned?

Do you have a pair? If so how large is the female? If she or they are nibbling one area she could be getting ready to lay eggs. They will clean a spot for a month or so to prep for the eggs to attach to the area. Just an idea.

Yeah I have a pair, the male is about 2 inches and the female is around 3 and a half. I'm not sure if they are mature enough to breed yet? I got them as they where about an inch and a half just over a year ago, they have been paired for around a year though

Cool! I've heard it's really hard to raise the fry but I'll be willing to attempt if they do.
