hinnenkm Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't have an answer, but I'm tagging along just in case anyone does. My clowns do the same thing, the female more than the male and it really bothers the coral, but I almost think mine are starting to show nesting behaviors?! Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Clowns generally do this before they are hosted by whatever they are nipping. They usually do this to become immune to the hosts sting. I wouldn't be suprised if they moved in to the Duncan as well. My clownfish did this before moving in to my duncan as well Link to comment

holy carp Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 My male clown nips the sweepers of a maze brain coral, and then twitches and dances. It must be spicy! They're never going to host that brain, I'm sure. Link to comment

CatfishSoupFTW Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Ima use this move for when I need a bump. lol It would be pretty neat if it hosts the clown. I always see clowns doing this at LFS Link to comment

They're never going to host that brain, I'm sure. Mine hosted in a brain until it killed it (the fish killed the brain that is) Something about the constant rubbing of the soft tissue against the hard skeleton). Duncan have longer tentacles so shouldn't be as much of an issue. Ttttttttt!!!!! Sorry, But what is this? Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sorry, But what is this? It's a combination of "ttt" and extra t's probably to fit a minimum character count the forum probably has. ttt means "To The Top". It's similar to a "bump", except that bumping a thread is usually done to prevent it from falling off the first page in a fast moving forum, and also stands for "Bringing Up My Posts" (Or Post-Count).

Rural Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 check my thread for video of my clown hosting, they still nip it sometimes, but they definitely nip it less when well fed. Link to comment
The_Noooob Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 T is another way of a bump, (Top)... Link to comment
