hi question about percs and anemones
 

i have read the info on clowns and anemones i just want a single juv
true perc, i am new so i dont understand the latin names for the anemones or true percs, i have about 6 watts per gallon for lighting
and my flow is good what type of anemone should i get for a true perc?
that would be suitable for new reefer like myself and good for the trueperc
thanks

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?
