Thumbs up

Congratulations EvilTwin!
You must be putting something in the water to make your critters so frisky.
Been listening to any Barry White albums lately around your tank?

Anyways, it is common for BTA's to split in the aquarium. Some say it is a reaction to stress, others say it happens under pristine conditions. I'm not sure as I don't keep BTA's, but it sounds to me like you are doing something right. The deflated one should reinflate soon. No reason to get rid of one unless you can trade for something good.

Well, now they seem to be playing the inflating game, as they have swapped inflate/deflate status.

As for my clowns, they never hosted in it. Maybe now that they have two to choose from, they'll change their minds. Now if I could only find a place in my tank for the xenia that doesn't have too much flow. I know flow is good, but it seems they just want to flop around in the current and not pulse much

Are they tank raised clowns?
Usually tank raised clowns will take longer to host.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. I have to say that it really hasn't been as difficult as some people make this out to be. I spend time reading a bunch of newbie forums on other sites to see what people are doing and get answers to some questions I have. Now, I'm no genius, but even I know that it pays to read a few books and a lot of internet articles to figure out how to do this stuff right. I'm really amazed at the stupid things poeple do when setting up their first tank. I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing.
