    clown and anemones

    Are there particular clowns that will host particular nems? I had a tomato clown and he/she really took to the nem that I had. It became to aggressive with my other fish and I had to remove it.

    what to test for

    So Ca and Mg are then the most important things to test for once the 4 regular ones are stable, right? Then how about any supplements to add? I have heard of strontium and iodine must be added...Is this true. If so are these things that need to be tested first or added on some frequency.
