The Clown Circus has come to town!!

[Anthony Scholfield]

So after a lot of prep, perseverance, and patience the clowns have arrived! The circus is here and I’m loving it. So far so good.

There are 12 clowns in here...
2 lightning maroon
2 phantom occelaris
2 fancy occelaris (brighter)
2 fancy white occelaris (atypical white markings)
4 spotcintus

They are hosted by....
1 magnifica anemone
3 gigantea anemone (green, blue, purple)
2 BTA anemone (black widow, wildfire)
maybe a fungia plate coral.....one of the lightnings has taking a liking to it, haha.

Thanks! I used an IPad Pro 11, no filters, just straight up. It does a nice job

I really like the spotcinctus clarkii. Looks like you left some nice shelves in the overflow side those SPS frags to sit on?

I’ve always thought the spotcinctus is pretty unique. Can’t say I’ve seen them in others tanks.

Yeah, I’ve left some room I initially set up the shelving for the anticipation of at least one Mag nem. I know that’s the style they like to plant to and I didn’t know where it would end up. It seems to have settled where I’d hoped it would. It was in two other places before this spot, haha

Thanks! It’s hard not to sit and watch, so fun

Awesome tank! Love how the clowns have to fight the current instead of each other. (Reminds me of, "Swim, swim, swim" from Finding Nemo). I'm also fond of the Red Sea clowns.....nice variety.

Great video!! I don't know if I missed it, but how big is the tank they're in?

Haha that's awesome man! That tank has really come a long ways! Can't wait to stop by and check it out in person. Sweet job on getting that all together!

They are so fun to watch....It’s the weekend so I’m up earlier and was able to get some video with just the morning light, LEDs and no T5s.

Since adding all the clowns they have wanted to stay in one general area of the tank which is no surprise because that’s where all the nems are at.......except for 2 BTAs, a rainbow and wildfire, which are in the opposite corner. Ive been curious when/will they be discovered. Tonight i got my answer.....one lucky lil spotcinctus! Haha

 

[Specific Ocean]

Glad they're enjoying it!

I have three clowns in my tank already and wanted to add another two, but was hesitant in case it got messed up. This is great. Thanks for sharing

Thanks and its my pleasure to share!

Please dont let this be the deciding factor on whether you add more clownfish though. A lot of prep and planning went into this. I’m in uncharted territory really. Most people would not recommend this ;P
