Corals

Generally, there are two types of corals that we have in tank.  First are ones called anemones that host clown fish.  The front hanging rock has many of them with different colors.

 The other rocks have them too and clown fish – nemo always are near them. 

The other corals usually does not attract attention to clown fish.


 So, there are many other corals and they should be placed where they are now – if you see that a snail knocked them or something else is wrong try to correct the situation with a long skinny brown stick from a drawer. 

 Anemones may travel and change they location!  See everyday what is going on for a few moments!  Take your food and eat not in the kitchen, but in front of the reef!  Spend some time relaxing and learn what is going on in the reef!  See how it grows and changes every day!  

There is one anemone on the right on the tank – that one does not host clown fish, yet it may change its mind!

This coral is very particular because it is the biggest and it should be where it is now!  It is poisonous to other corals! It means, if this one touches other corals they will or might die!  Be careful when this happen – use a small stick from a drawer and lift a glass with main lid and move the big anemone away to its position.   Right now it is attached to a bottom of a main rock and a pump is pumping water around it keeping it in this position! 
  It is important to keep the pump position in the same spot, so the anemone shape and position is safe to other corals.  You can experiment and move down a bit the pump and see how the arms of this coral will change – but keep the pump so the arms are away from other corals.


All anemones change shape at some point – they become very small like small ball or almost disappear all-together.  But after a while, they should inflate and become bigger again.
