yeah, but then in actuality the clowns in the LFS all survive in 30oC temp water....in the open waters, clowns are found in the safety of the anemones and the temp is really lower than 25 actually......and anemones and corals are found kinda deep sometimes as well...

a protein skimmer is to improve water quality by removing excess protein released by the fish, thru' excreta, fluids, etc. it also removes all the left over food that is rotting and makes the water better and cleaner, especially important if you want to keep corals, anemones, etc.
