so i got really fasinated with them when i saw elmo's tank with all his clowns, which btw i think is cooler then a lot of the totm's i've seen on RC
i'm interested in keeping one, i've got a few questions
since i've got PC lighting the only one that the site i read suggested was the BTA anemone
my lighting is 4x65 watt 2 10k 2 actinic 03
i don't know if i should remove the lens for better lighting since it seems to stop alot of salt creep/evaporation
also for better lighting overall i was thinking of using some pvc to mount my rocks up a few inches so it'll look better too,
feeding, i've got flakes which i heard are hard to use with them and i've got frozen food, formula one which i think is a bit meatier for them
obtaining one, i read they don't do well in shipping resulting in not doing well overall, and for even less stress i was kinda interested in one that's already under PC lighting, i saw some at below sea level in seattle, but i was unsure of the price since nothing was marked, but they had theirs under a 96 watt 50/50 pc light, though there were two but only one over each tank directly
also is a particular light better for them then the other, 10k or actinic, elmo mentioned and keeps his only under 10k 250w metal halide, but then the article said if they look light deprived use more blue lights or actinics, let me know on a bunch of these questions

they're all alive and kicking, they're growing too and eating prime reef flake food, the blue eye'd one's a bit of an outcast but they don't pick at him or anything, he just hangs out alone sometimes, though not all the time, i think the dominant two have somewhat established themselves, as they're a bit bigger then the other two, any advice on the bta's? and have you gotten your second true perc? if not i'm ordering two and i can get you another one for rather cheap $21 with shipping .5"-1" or a bigger one 2-3" for $26 or so these are estimated to the nearest dollar i think, part of our group order
o and i couldn't find out this question on other clown threads how long do they generally take to pair up, or at least get to the maturity level that they'll change genders?
hope you tanks doing well, it was awesome earlier when i saw it
