What anemone is most likely to host true clowns?

What is the best anemone to host a clown fish?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Magnifica anemones are one of the "best" hosting anemones IME. RBTAs have also been very good hosting anemones IME. By true clowns, I'm assuming you mean Perculas &/or Ocellaris.

Just set up a clownfish/anemone display species tank for my wife. 2' cube wtih 150w Aquaconnect 14000k pendant.

It's got 2 Sebae, 1 GBTA, 1 RBTA, & 1 Magnifica. I also added 6 Ocellaris yesterday and so far, they've hosted every anemone except the Sebae (the only anemones I had to buy of course).

There are a Magnifica anemone (from my fowlr), a Green Bubbletip (from my reef), a Rose Bubbletip (from BC Mosaic), and 2 Sebae anemones (from King Ed's), as well as 6 Ocellaris clownfish (from King Ed's).

Hope you like.

i think the gbta is one of the easiest and both my clowns take turns in it , that is untill i get a second one

Bubbletips tend to be a little easier to keep than Magnificas, but best to get a clone from someone's tank for highest survival rates. Other than the Sebaes, all mine are clones. I think I have 8 anemones altogether in 2 tanks. My main reef still has 3 GBTA clones, with 3 clowns hosting.
