Clowns do ...clown stuff

Clowns do clowns stuff i guess.
i thought my clown pair was hosting the corner of my tank, maybe 1-2 inch above a rock wiht around 12 BTA that i have. Sadly they never got into the BTA.
i had to move the BTA a few inches away from the corner....
I found out the my clown did not host the corner... but the area just above the BTA, whereever i move the BTA, the clown will move with it, and swin, sleep.. live like 1-2 inch above the BTA.

why not live in the BTA ?? or in the corner like other clowns... they look like free swimers

Beautiful Nems!

Maybe the BTAs won't let them host

Both Clowns and Nems are funny & intriguing creatures.

Tell them to stop clowning around.

Ha! Clowns are crazy sometimes.

Those are gorgeous nems! Clowns are weird. I have never had any be a host to a nem, I don't mind, but it would be nice lol. My current pair hang out near their rock where they lay their eggs, and my cleaner shimp are host to the nems lol. At least yours are near the anemone lol.

Where do they sleep at night? Maybe they're just being spiteful

I bet they will eventually get in. Mine did the same thing, then suddenly one day they were in them.

they sleep 2 inch below where they are on the picture... 1-2 inch on the right of the nem. some time on the left... 1-2 inch away from the nem. they basically sleep on the sand.
