The prefix "coulro-" may be derived from an Ancient Greek word meaning "stilt-walker",[nb 1] although the concept of a clown as a figure of fun was unknown in classical Greek culture.[5]

I did read that. Even though the etymology doesn't make all that much sense, we are still using it to refer to clowns in some way so I figured I try to make a cheap joke by adding ichthy to it.

My snowflake clown does the same thing. She is able to swim side by side with a purple tang that is double her size. I am not sure if she is still paired up with the black clown, as she has been acting a total B towards him........

I think I have "coulroichthyphobia" :(
Seems to me a good name for "Fear of clown fish with ich".
A recent issue of mine.

I’ve been trying to done some aquascaping and every time when I least expect it *BAM* she takes a little hunk of skin off.

Thats nothing. Try a pissed off 12" Clown Trigger. Yours is just a flesh wound. :)

My clowns are so nice. I've had them for two years now give or take a month. Never had any aggression problems and they have lasted in less than desirable conditions when I was having trouble with my tank.

Have to thank Fingerwrinkles for breeding quality fish :)
