Spawn behaviour ?

[promotheus2070]

So i noticed my male clown rubbing in a trachyphilia ..
Is this some spawn behaviour or something else ?

Ok, seriously.

Was the trachy deflated or did the clownfish cause it? If the clown is bothering it too much, it could kill it.

Spawning behaviour typically is when the male starts to clear an area so that the female can lay her eggs. In this case, I don't think the male is doing that. They typically like smooth surfaces, which is why a lot of breeders use tiles or pots.

THe trachy shows more deflating behavior towards evening than he normaly did ....

I think getting a anemone to host the clowns could be a solution ? I do have a yellow malu but non of the couple showed any interest in the malu .
But i did read thats not the usual hosting anemone for the couple i house

The more interaction this clown has with the coral the worse it's going to get IME. You might want to consider moving the coral to a new location and see if the fish follows it.

Do you feed the coral? Maybe the clownfish has associated food with the coral and that's why it's paying it so much attention. GL.

I think getting a host anemone would help, but the only guaranteed way would be to add a natural host anemone for your clownfish. Are the percula? That's my best guess. If so, the natural host anemones are: H. magnifica, H. crispa, and S. gigantea. The problem with these anemones is that they're hard to find in the trade. Healthy ones are almost impossible to find, unless they're coming from another reefer. I'm actually a bit surprised that your clownfish are not interested in your malu.

for sure perculas ,
All those anemone's you described i could order straight away here in belgium .
Ill work out which one is the most suiteable in my tank .
YEah they dont even look to the malu to be honnest , i even wonder if they know if its there .

 

[promotheus2070]

So , after approx 20 minutes of the anemone being in the tank this is the result .

I dont feel like the anemone adapted fully yet but the nemo feel already home .
