yup those are cool and hardy, but they don't like nuisance algaes. The cool thing about 'em is they are easily fraggable

EDIT i forgot to ask do clowns host in these? i thought i seen a pair hosting in them at the lfs

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

clowns host just about anything from buton polyps to anemones. some people even get them to host fake corals.

 

[saltwater4life]

wow cool i might have to trade in my curent fish for a pair of clowns or upgrade my tank
they host even fake corals...nice

 

[aresgod]

they host flower pots...literally anything that strikes their fancy.

 

[saltwater4life]

lol i didn't know that so they probbly host filter intakes too well i guess i'm getting off topic...

 

[aresgod]

yep, filter intakes, powerheads....whatever.

 

[saltwater4life]

lol i was joking but now that i think of it my uncles clowns were always by his filter intake so they probbly were hosting on it... hmm but i got another question would a Chocolate Mushroom do good in my tank?

 

[1979camaro]

what is a chocolate mushroom? scientific names are much more helpful...

 

[saltwater4life]

well thats what it's named..
Mushroom Coral - Chocolate
link to it

 

[KahluaZzZ]

i think yeah.
Oh yeah my 2y old clown recently felt in love with my new Seio. Kinda cute/weird to see...still he doesn't want a frogspawn, Xenia, and other anemone-like corals to be his host. Maybe the heat of the Seio...dunno...maybe he's moron...mhh...yeah he is

 

[saltwater4life]

i think yea, it'd do ok? or i think yea it wouldn't?
lol nice

 

[1979camaro]

those are generally some of the easiest corals to keep...you should be fine

 

[saltwater4life]

sweet just gotta get to a LFS... might get the toadstool first pending on the prices

 

[KahluaZzZ]

just to warn you about toadstools, cause i've seen this on like 50% of the species in store sick : If there's a white contrasted color, like a white patch, don't take it...it's rotting.

 

[saltwater4life]

oh thx for the info so if it's got any white spots on it dont tank it? like how a rotting banana has the brown?

 

[KahluaZzZ]

well it's not a good one, but if you see a white, powdery spot..be careful.
Oh yeah...those corals do shed, so if you see gooey stuff coming off the crown, it's normal.

 

[saltwater4life]

these ones?
