I am way behind the storyline.. i only need one clownfish to upgrade my Coral Castle and it is taking me forever to find one. I have the blue and Teal anemone but still no luck.
Is clownfish a rare drop? ☹️☹️☹️

I'm working on this story line. I'm almost to the end, working to upgrade my castle to level 10. I thought I would share some thoughts on it for players who haven't started it yet.
Money
This is a money, energy and time intensive story. One person reported it costing over 20 million coins. I don't think there is anything here that is essential to work on before other story lines. Because of this I might suggest people consider following the faerie stories first. The faerie bulb and houses are decent coin droppers. This was suggested by someone in the thread (please forgive me I've forgotten who) and I think it's a super idea.
Read The Walkthroughs Before Beginning!
If you want two blue aquapanthers, you must gather all ingredients and craft both at the same time before collecting the first crafted aquapanther.
The pink aquapanther has very specific instructions that are time sensitive. Each time you upgrade your castle, check your kingdom goals book to see if you are prompted to craft the next item (potion). After the crafting, it must be intentionally given by toggling the icon in the story task. If you miss a potion along the way, I don't think you will be able to get the pink aquapanther. Once you turn a potion in, the recipe you just made goes away from the craft building.
After upgrading the castle to level 9, all 6 potion recipes reappear for crafting so they can be turned in for the pink aquapanther. You will need to give a second of each of the 6 potions you crafted previously all at once, and it's also timed. If you are a collector you may want to craft three ahead of time each time you are given a new recipe along the way. Just be mindful of the short timer for turn in. At the end, all 6 potion recipes disappear from crafting once given. This is not a potion you can craft and trigger to help boost collecting any other time than when it is specifically asked for. And I didn't think the boost helped at all I'm sad to say.
And if you stop working on it for a while you may be like me wondering if you blew it and forgot to turn one in. That made me fret. You may want to make a note for yourself on what you've done.
Low Drop Rate
From reading the posts, most people struggled to gather enough eels and/or clown fish. For every anemone or coral cleared, you get one eel/clown fish. And sometimes you had to clear a second just to get one drop. That's costly. There are items available for gems that drop these rare items. Most commenters were unhappy with their drop rate. I found them to be helpful, specifically the teal anemone and ocean chest. Collect from your castle every two hours. It has decent drops. Also collect from Sirene. Most of my rare supplies came from collecting from the castle and some of the gem purchased decor in the market. It will accumulate if you do a collection round every time you log in.

Coral the Octomaid also drops orange coral which is needed a lot.
Boosts for materials?
I earned the Mermaid Mayhem boost. Just afterward I also earned the 3x boost for crafting the pink aquapanther. The boosts are supposed to have a possibility of getting better drops. I did not find the drop boost to be noticeable. I gathered one special drop per anemone/coral that I cleared. I was pleased with the mermaid mayhem reward. The text for completing mermaid mayhem says miscellaneous mermaid drops. I did receive about 30 clown fish and 15 eels from mermaid mayhem (you may receive something different). If I remember correctly, it requires you cut 10 coral reefs (80,000 coins each) and 20 blue anemone (45,000 coins each). There is a time limit. If you want to do mermaid mayhem, I would collect the blue anemones and coral reefs as drops rather than purchase if you can and the time limit isn't a problem. I would save them specifically for this task. I used the ones I had in inventory along the way after the individual potions hoping to get a boost for each potion, but in hindsight I don't think the boost helped at all and I would save them for mermaid mayhem so I don't have to use such a huge chunk of coin in the small time window. And this will be energy intensive as coral reefs = 20 chops, blue anemone = 10 chops, each. Short answer, expensive, and the boosts weren't impressive but I was very happy to get a big chunk of rare resources.. The 30 clown fish rewarded is about the same as purchasing and energy usage of clearing 30 or more coral reefs; and the eels rewarded about the same as purchasing and energy used clearing of 15 more blue anemone. That is why I felt mermaid mayhem was worth doing. I hope it is the same reward for everyone.
Adventures
There were a few comments on adventures helping with materials. Adventure Drops: Earth Wisp, Lumin Essence, Silver Ore, Simple Glue, Reef Block, Reef Column, Enchanter's Essence, Super Glue, Seaweed Salad, Blue Anemone, Ocean Reef, Mermaid's Brew, Ocean Hors D'oeuvres, Coral Reef Block, Coral Reef Column, Mithril, Elvenite, Storm Water
I crafted an Armored Glimmer Loch and so far it is not dropping any eels or clown fish. After collecting for a few months, I do not suggest crafting aquatic creatures from the MRC in the hope of them giving rare drops. I think their intention is decorative and coin generation, not resource drops. And they cost too much to make if you are still using eels and clown fish in the story.

I finally got Castle to Level 9 and I'm ready to start collecting for level 10. I was still a newbie when I started this, and buying the squares wiped out my cash. Then saw the warnings about money and set this quest aside. (I later put 500k into the Pearly Oyster and 75 gems each for 2 teal anemones to try to get orange shells.) Since then I have spent on other quests and didn't have the cash for buying reefs and anemones. So without buying them (except 1-2 required for steps), I made it this far. I'm down to the last step for a level 10 Coral Castle. Part IV, goal 5. (I already made the Storm Trident in goal 4.) For this last bit of jewelry, I need 5 storm water, 6 purple shells, and 1 enchanted pearl. Sounds so simple! It boils down to:
NET TO MAKE THE PEARL AND NECKLACE
13 black pearls
30 silver
4 lumin essence
30 purple dyes
50 clownfish
30 eels
54 enchanters essence (PLUS 45) = 99 enchanters essence
36 aquanther scales (PLUS 30) = 66 aquanther scales
138 orange shells (PLUS 90) = 228 orange shells
At my plodding pace, the clownfish and eels are keeping up. The regular supplies are easy. But after all this time I have 5 black pearls (wasted some on the adventure, sadly) ... but the worst will be those orange shells.
Time to break out my wallet!
p.s. just found a PM from ShibuyaCloth in 2021 telling me to go ahead and spend the money, lol! You always have the right advice!
