I picked up these Beauties a few days ago, a bargain at £35 for the pair. Thanks Vince, they've settled in nicely.

They suffered from whitespot for the first few days, stress from moving I guess. I dosed them flaked & frozen Mysis soaked in freshly crushed garlic & luckily this did the trick, hardly a spot in sight now....

They're even getting ready to spawn & have cleaned off a couple of prespective sites.

If anyone can give me a proper ID I'll get them up on my website.

Those are gorgeous clowns Suk. Look like Cinnamon Clowns to me (Amphiprion melanopus (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=759)). Similar in appearance to Tomato Clowns.

Thank again everyone... I'm more then happy with them.
I'm thinking of getting a RBT Anemone for them, do you think I'd be ok with one considering my sps. I have heard of anemonies wandering which is what has put me off. Also my 2 streams...
Any thoughts?

Steve - Lovely Clowns m8, They're the ones I thought I was getting but I'm still happy with what I got.
:D
