Your carpet anemone reminds me of a toadstool leather.
Sorry about the culling, what were the defects? |

One had a defective (open) gill on left side. The other one hasn't grown much since post metamorphosis and was pale in color :/ |

Ahh glad to see they were cleaning and you saw why.
I bet the fry are happy to finally fit all at once in the tube. I hope they can see mom and dad in the anemones and want to jump right inside when they finally get out and can see one.

Based on their habit of seeking shelter within those fittings I think they would be more inclined to accept even an unnatural host anemone or coral. Seeing their parents and smelling nems probably helps a lot too. |

I put a ceramic flower pot for the clowns. However, they are still cleaning the rock area as a potential nest site.

I tried placing two babies in the tank with parents. In the wild, true Perculas live in groups of 2-6 clowns. So I tried replicating what happens in the wild. It didn't go well. Initially I put one. The parents chased it into a corner. Then I added a second misbar baby to disperse aggression. They weren't having it. Luckily catching both babies was easy. they are back in their box safe and sound.
I'm guessing new anemone residents move into with larger clowns while they are still very young, much younger than my babies. Or may be it was just bad luck. Either way, everything is ok now. |

Glad to hear the parents didn't kill the youngling. I'm curious how much larger the babies can get before they seriously start fighting with one another

Well, the breeding pair laid eggs yesterday. This time they did it on the rock. It's a small clutch but I'm glad they're still spawning after taking a couple of months off. Future clutches should and will be bigger. Still no time to raise babies but hopefully that will change in the next month or two.

Well now... Nothing like a needle in a haystack. How will they ever find their way around? HAHA.
Hey Orion, can you take a video? Just wondering how they interact with each other in there.

I don't do video well. No place to upload it. Just stick with pictures for me.

Roger. I understand.
In the 265 build I am wanting to do a large gig with a small 8-12 clutch. Was just wondering. They look like they jumped right in are are right at home.
