Sounds like a great excuse to get another tank .....

The Rose Palace is amazing. Please post some pics. Wish I had a tank like that. I'd put one pair of each species of clownfish in there.

Thanks Everyone for the kind words.

I hate posting pics right now, because it doesnt have that AWW factor until they all come back out, but here ya go.

Since the splits, most are still hiding, here is a picture of the ones that are out right now, I will update it when the rest come out.

Im going to upgrade to 600 gallon in 1 more year, I will get them out then. They are taking over the tank, and Im just enjoying it for now ( I have never personally seen so many in one tank)

They dont move around that tank, the patch just simply expands.

I lost all my SPS about 2 years ago, so there isnt much for coral in the tank, just some clams.

I mean...how would you get them out without harming them to thin the numbers? That's so difficult. Then there's the moving around and stinging everything in their path. But the clowns would be in heaven! LOL

Thanks for sharing. It's an amazing tank and set of pics.

Once in awhile 1 or 2 at the top will show bubble tips, but for the most part, they stay the same shape. Im not sure what triggers the bubble tips? Maybe hunger? who knows.
