I know that Skunk Clownfish can vocalize when they feel disturbed or threatend. Lately at night when one of my B/W spooks I have heard a squeaking. I have never heard it before, it happens when the clown is sleeping next to the output and the other clown bumps into and the clown gets startled. Anyone else notice this?

Nope

I have not heard my clown make a noise ever. That would spook me out.

I have a trigger that grunts pretty audibly. never heard a clown squeak though.

My male Picasso was shaking at the female the other day and was grunting.

I know they can click their jaw but I dunno about a grunt

Only the rare ocellaris dolphin hybrids make the squeaky noises. They're tough to cross breed, but once you do you can teach your clownfish to jump through little hoops.

I read something about clown vocalizations. One link

Hi,

Since I posted this way back when, I have done some more reading on the subject. NPR actually has a recording on their site of clowns chirping or grunts. The most vocal seem to be the skunk clownfish.

Since that time I have heard my male B/W chirp twice when he was suddendly spooked at night. I was on the couch, I heard him splash, chirp and then hit the lid of the tank. The female had startled him while he was sleeping.

Thank you for your replies, and if you have any more info regarding this subject please share.
