Clownfish can live fine without an anemone to host in.

My Oc. false percs are trying to host in my rhodactis mushrooms. :rolleyes:

If you're new to the hobby, you should realize that anemones are difficult to take care of & should go into a mature tank. How long has your tank been set up? What size tank? What type of lights? Anemones really appreciate MH lighting & only Long tentacle & Bubble tips have the best success rates. Some other anemones are near impossible to keep although there will always be a few who've done it.

If you give us more info about your set up we can answer your questions better.

I would go with an umbrella leather or do some research on other corals that percs host in. eg. frogspawn and hammers.

thanks for your reply
 
yes to answer a few the questions, the tanks is fairly young still just about a couple of months, ihave a power compact 2x65 coralife fixture
its a 20 gallon high, so should wait until the tanks a bit more mature?
