No marine tank is complete without a clownfish or two ? Or at least I feel so...My preference for clownfish seems to differ from the typical bright orange/ black patterned " Nemo"-- the pink skunk clownfish with its subtle colours attracts me more and IMO seems to contrast much better with the brighter corals I seek to own...
It is also not without its challenges-- it reportedly is less hardy/durable than other clownfish species and I lost the initial 3, ending up with these 2 stable specimens in my tank. They took to the bubble-tip anemone very readily, sadly which I failed to keep long-term... They didn't seem to mind taking the hammer coral as a substitute lately though....
