| aiptasia. I placed the DIY urchin in my refugium to cure (when I first made it), and the aiptasia tagged along. |

| @iloveengl, thanks !
@charzar-g, believe it or not. Clownfish fry are much smaller. As to the parents origins. I do not know. But if I had to guess, IMO they are tank raised. Last edited by agsansoo; August 31st, 2009 at 05:13 PM.

| really? 
I'm always suprised that the tiny little babies don't get lost in the ocean... its so big.. and they're so small! ^^
And thanks about the parents info  - I just wondered if it was harder to breed wild caught, which i assumed was, becuase they're harder to keep in general right? |

| Yes, wild caught fishes have 58-95% mortality rate vs captive bred. Captive bred marines, fish have proven hardier and more able to adapt to aquarium life. They are also much more readily to take prepared foods and have less or no infectious organisms. |

| Well all five are doing fine. Except tonight the BBS wasn't ready, so the babies have to eat dry food instead. To answer your question, I would estimate their size to be about 3/8". |
