Home sweet home…

Simple things are often the most beautiful.  This is a concept well understood by many marine enthusiasts, and the symbiotic relationship that exists between a clownfish (amphiphrion or premnas species) and their host anemone is a stunning example of this concept. 

Nestling in the protective tentacles of its host, the clownfish is a marvel to watch.

This species of clownfish, known as the Premnas biaculeatus, is widely sought after.  Its striking contrasts between colours makes it a wonderful addition to the marine tank.  It is said they are the most aggressive of all clownfish however, and should not be kept with other more docile species. 

 

The wonder that lurks beneath the surface..

So many people know of what we call the 'aqua hobby'.  However, it is rare to find someone who appreciates the richness and beauty of the many colours, shapes and sizes of the living things we have grown so accustomed to.  Whether it be freshwater or saltwater, creating the underwater habitat remains a fun and engaging experience.
