Yes, there is one sure fire way to get an update – heckle me into it via the comment system here at www.Lightning-Maroon-Clownfish.com So for starters, let’s talk NPS (Non PhotoSynthetic corals).  Yes, I’ve had some Balanophyllia for a while now, as a somewhat local reefer grows them like crazy and they always end up […]

Turnabout is fair play – come here to shoot the Lightning Maroon Clownfish and expected to get shot yourself (granted, I asked for permission to both shoot and post 😉 ) I have to say, Gary was a trooper – our club brought him to Duluth, MN, only to drive him 3 hours west to […]

With SOPA and PIPA making news this week, it’s all too timely to bring up a brief discussion about copyright.  I was 100% against these measures because they lacked the necessary protections of due-process…all it takes is an accusation to bring down an entire server, a server which could house dozens or hundreds of unrelated […]

As usual, there’s really nothing NEW to report.  The blog’s admin area was offline for a while – the result of a failed automatic WordPress update.  I finally got around to fixing it! Since there’s nothing new to report (other than the pair of Maroons being a pair of Maroons) I thought I’d first update […]

We are 110% on the right track. I know I alluded to the nest cleaning behavior here and other places, but today I caught it on camera. The Lightning Maroon was getting into it too, but the male PNG White Stripe Maroon Clown was doing the bulk of the substrate clearing. Of course, we know […]

Once again, trying to pair up the Lightning Maroon.  It has been almost 2 months since I tried introducing the small proven male PNG Maroon Clown with the Lightning Clownfish back on April 11th, and a few days later it did it’s own pairing attempt overnight on the 14th.  I didn’t realize it had been […]

Back to back “wins” for the Lightning Maroon Clownfish as it’s photoshopped kin succeed in fooling many aquarists for a second year in a row! No doubt you may recall the annoucement of a “Third” Lightning Maroon being collected on April 1st, 2010. This amazing piece of artwork was done by Guin Apora and honestly […]

This is why aquarists don’t like going out of town: And yet, I still have an upcoming trip to talk at PNWMAS this weekend.  Since I am only now really recovered from  truly abnormal overtime (I think I worked a month’s worth of hours in the first half of the month?) I figured I at […]

Strange how the weekend can just get away from you.  Kept saying I was going to add the sand, add the water, add the Labrador Maroon, but it never happened.  At this point, I may just wait – Live Rock is due to arrive Tuesday, so might as well aquascape it while dry at this […]

I was downstairs shooting pictures this evening, specifically because the last (and only remaining) of the Bundoon Blenny babies has fully settled out – needed images for my MBI (Marine Breeding Initiative, MBISite.org) settlement reports (more points in the BAP – that’s Breeder’s Award Program for those of you who aren’t familiar with BAPs from […]
