Just got back from the LFS and I've picked up a torch coral, hoping it'll help calm the little fellas down - still as grumpy as ever, I might add. It's a bit advanced for my skill level, but fingers crossed they'll take to it, or they're going back to the shop, they just won't fit with my future plans. So far, they're not interested, but I think my powerheads are a bit too strong, not just for the fish, but the torch as well, so it's back to the credit card for some adjustments.

I think they do like some company, they're a type of shoaling fish, so maybe that's why they're a bit more settled when they're with others.

Firtideflow can't sex change like clowns, and there's no way to tell the boys from the girls, so you might get aggression issues if you end up with two males.

If they could change sex like clowns do, wouldn't the larger of the two turn into a female, then they'd likely get along fine?
