the deacon Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I've had my false perc for about a month and a half. Yesterday i noticed a sandstorm in the tank and saw my perc fanning out the substrate for bedding. She is kicking sand up all onto my fungia. I contimplating moving the fungia but everywhere else the flow is to strong so i just keep turkey basting the sand off. Has anyone had experience of bedding clowns in there nano's? thanks deacon Link to comment
Hyshnari Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Don't really have any answers for you, but I do have interest as to why they do that... My black percula female just started doing that this evening... Digging a little pit in the sand... Anybody know why? Link to comment
EnderG60 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 like this? mine does this all the time cuz the goby and shrimp keep piling up sand there and she keeps flattening it back out. Let her keep doing it till its the way she wants and she should stop. Link to comment

the deacon Posted August 17, 2004 Author Share Posted August 17, 2004 sounds like its pretty common, thanks for the replys. i moved the plate anyway to a better flow area and it looks better than ever. go figure Link to comment
greatreef16 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I have a really aggresive Sally lightfoot crab that will sometimes attack my perc, so I think she does that to hide/stake territory Link to comment
Doc Shake Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 clowns do that to prep a nesting site. adults often prep a site even when they are alone. Link to comment
