My clown took up with my bubble coral til the bubble got to big and started killing things, then it had to go

Now it cuddles with some button polyps

Nick,

Fortunately, this isn't my tank...unfortunately it's my sisters. They thought it was pretty neat even though they lost the fish. As far as explaining it to my daughter.....I showed her the pictures and explained about how the fish was food for the coral. She thinks of corals as plants or vegetables (which is really cute sometimes), and this helped her understand that they are more than that. The yellow tang was one of her favs, but I hope/think she realized that she won't see it anymore (until a new one arrives ).

Thanks essmaker What kind of clown is that in the alveopora? I'm thinking fire clown (A ephippium).

 

[essmaker]

You are right on. I mentioned to someone else that I don't know if all clowns are like this, but the two i have are mean little biters!

Everytime I put my hands in the tank I can count on being biten several times.

They haven't broken the skin yet, but they are certainly working on it.
