Default What Anemone to get, and where?

Bob,

Go BTA. Start with one of the easiest. Don't buy anything else. Tho I don't recommend anyone buying any anemones. Too high a %age die in captivity. Way to high. If you go for the easiest you can learn(or try to) what these creatures need as far as feeding and light(yes they need food too) fish carrying food sometimes isn't enough.

Personally.. I'd put in a type of coral that clowns are known to host in(many LPS and softies). There is no real reason to buy an anemone if the clowns are in a tnak. They don't need the protection that the anemone provides in nature. The clowns will be just as happy and you have saved one anemone from possible death. Heck I have seen clowns mate without a host all together.

If you feel you HAVE to get one :rolleyes: , stay away from Carpets, Sebaes, Ritteri etc etc.

Victor,

There are many documented cases of condy's hosting clowns of various kinds.

I personally have had both Perc's and Oscellaris host in a condy. And have read of many others on a few different boards.
