    Damsel and Maroon Clown?

    I started cycling my tank with a yellow belly damsel. I later added a percula clown and the damsel would only bother him if he went near the damsels cave. The clown stayed on the other side and never seemed to be bothered. After about 2 weeks the clown started loosing his color and died...

    Is this rock safe?

    I found this rock and thought it would look good in my tank. Is it volcanic? Is it safe? If it makes a differance, there is nothing in my tank yet, not even water.
