Either in the branching frogspawn or pulsing xenia that is on the back wall. Sometimes they point straight up and sometimes sideways.

I had a rockslide last night that broke the frogspawn in 2 large pieces. The clowns seem exposed in comparison but not nearly like some of the postings here.

My two clowns host in their huge magnificent anemone, They do dolphin dives into it and poke there heads out. Most of the time you cant see them because their relaxing in the middle. Magnificent anemones are very hard to keep but very well worth it they symbolize clowns in the wild.

My 2 Ocellaris sleep vertically jammed behind my filter suction pipe. They were in my tank over a year before they started hosting anything. First it was my green zoas and now they split their time between the GSP and hammer.

How many clowns can you have in a tank at once? I have a 165G so size isnt a huge concern, but right now I have two ocellaris and thats it.

If I did get a clown and an anemone that are already a pair, would that be too many in one tank?

Default Carpet and clowns.

Our two perculas host our carpet anemone. In the beginning, we bought what we were told to be a Heteractis magnifica anemone, and as soon as we placed it into the water, the clowns took to it, started the fighting/dominance development. Unfortunately the anemone died, then the clowns swam aimlessly around the tank. We then got a nice carpet anemone from J&L, again they took to it immediately...and it's been great ever since (about 4-5 months now).
On a side note and maybe pressing our luck, we have a GBTA on the opposite side of our tank (135 Gallons), and we're planning on getting another set of clowns to host the that anemone. Maroon clowns are more aggressive, but it's something we might try.
