Is it working out well with the GSP and the Clownfish together?

Is the clown still in one piece? Fins still in tact? I found this thread searching for CUC info with a GSP. Was wondering how big a GSP has to be to bother turbo's or other large marine snails. My GSP has been full marine with live rock for a few months and looking great. Was just hoping for a little help with algae. I thought even a small GSP would torment even larger snails. Will they?

The clown still has all its fins, and isn't tormented at all. My turbo snails are also not bothered by my GSP. Toki will be curious occasionally, but doesn't hurt them because they are so big with thick shells. The turbos aren't very good cleaners though. They are very slow, and don't seem to roam around much. They are cool though. I like em.

Careful--that algae can really take over your tank quickly!

Are you referring to the macroalgae? I am quite aware of that now lol. It grows massively, but I love the way it looks in my tank. I just need to prune it...

Wow that's pretty cool that they are getting along. My GSP is a little terror and I don't know what would happen if I introduced anything alien to him. He attacks anything new be it a rock, marble, snail or finger... Tank looks good and I am a fan of macro's as well. Thanks for the pictures.

Nice tank setup! Nice to see a GSP acclimated to full marine water; what specific gravity is she in? Wish I knew what that orange anenome looking thing is - I thought it was an aptasia but now I'm not sure... keep one hand on the nuke button just in case.
