Hey everyone, I came home yesterday and one of my clowns was acting really weird. I have posted before about one of my clowns performing a quick "shaking" motion. I believe that these are tank raised clowns because they show no interest in hosting anything in my tank. However, yesterday one of my clowns looked like he was wanting to host some of my mushrooms. He kept tucking underneath them and sometimes it appeared as if he was chewing on them. He would then go over to my palys and swim real close for a while. After all of this happened I noticed that it remained in close proximity to the mushroom rock which is kind of peculiar because the clown normally stay in their "spot" on the left side of my tank. Sorry for the long winded post. Here is a video of what happened yesterday. Today, everything was back to normal, no messing with the mushrooms or anything else for that matter.

...forgot to add, you can skip forward to about 1:30 to really see when it starts to tuck itself under the mushrooms.

I thought that it might be hosting too, but I have not seen him do it since. I guess I will check it out again when I get home from class. Maybe in time he will start hosting more often?
