Loving the shrimp and goby

I have had these clownfish for about 2 weeks. The black one just stays down on the bottom. It looks like the orange one attacks it a lot are they just figuring out who the boss is still?

I bought these clowns separately at different days. Made sure one was larger so they can be a pair. They are closely together and sleep like this. Are they a bonded pair?

My established hifin goby has accepted the new addition! So happy to have this little trio! A long-time dream of mine 😁💛

I've had my pair of clowns for 6 months now, and the original BTA (on the left) for 4 months. All of my animals are aquacultured as far as I know. How long did it take your clowns to figure out what an anemone was?

Huge progress with the new yellow gobies! I got them to pair with each other AND a pistol shrimp 😎

I will get pics of the 3 when I spot them all together

Got a little excited when my fire shrimp cleaned my Midas blenny the first time. These

Two goofballs always crack me up.

A big thanks to the patience (and generosity) of my LFS that encouraged a mix n' match/trial & error period of finding the perfect Ocellaris Clown pair. We are now finally sorted without imposing major stress, loss of fish due to bullying or jumping out and their safe return to their lagoon if they didn't work out.

They haven't decided what they want to host. There is 2 × BTAs in the tank. But they seem to be favouring the Torch and weirdly, the dish shaped Turbinaria.
