had this happena while back with my wrasse.but now my clowns are in the corner overflow.started with the male then today i look and see the female back there makes me wonder if she knew he was back there all along and made the jump?pretty neat they will hang there until i move in two weeks..
 
Tempted to put mine in an overflow, mines just a complete A-hole & keeps moving all the sand from one corner of the tank to another. He's thrown a large coral out of the way a dozen or so times, keeps putting it on my flower pot coral. I moved it finally. He's now burying the Flower Pot coral in sand so nightly I have to unbury it, it's also next to my Plate coral so he's occasionally getting sanded. While fixing things the clown proceeds to bite me (which is just funny) but man this clown is ticking me off.
 
I'm sure they'd be fine. I'd put a screen on the overflow pipe so the don't ever get in and take a ride to your sump or worse get stuck and overflow the tank

maybe they wanted to be alone to spawn :) play some frank sinatra and light the room with candles maybe.

LMAO....thats what i was thinking..I put a piece of screan around the intake pipe so they dont get sucked down to the sump like the fat kid who falls into chocolate in willie wanka.

i made my self a covering plate out of egg crate so no fish jumps in there anymore only bad thing is y snails seem to want to go up the overflow and go into it which is getting annoying.
