Never once, in my life, have I ever seen a clown fish eat algae, but ok. Seems strange they would include that in a CUC package. :strange:

Otherwise, seems like a reasonable deal. I know the LFS around me has False Percs for 40 bucks alone.

I would make sure thats the clownfish I would want. I may be wrong but they are the least aggressive. Some people prefer other clowns.

[Bob46]

Yes I really want the clownfish actually I want 2 of them. Most sites I have read said to add 2 together. Would it be ok to add one now and add one in a few weeks? Being a newly cycled tank I don't to over load it.

I wouldn't buy a cuc that contains fish and coral. A good cuc that contains a diverse variety of snails would be the best option for starting out. I would avoid hermit crabs, they will eat your snails.

You should wait until after you have your cuc in the tank for 2 weeks or so until you add fish. A pair of clowns to start would be a good choice.

$45 for a false perc! $10 - 15 around here.

Take a look at Reef cleaners. I have always had good luck with them.

+1 to reefcleaners!

i've never heard of a cleaner clam. what is it?

[Jersh]

It depends on what kind of corals you eventually want. Peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs aren't always reef safe. Personally, I'm going all snails with my CUC.
