Carpet anenome

[Chase31]

Yea basically from my journey what I have found out is any clown will jump right into it's natural host I.e. Occilaris into gigantica and cinnamon into bubbletips. I got a set of clarkii's (tank bred) in trade of my occilaris and plopped them in the tank. Went for dinner (8:00 left 11:00 home) when we left they went and hid under a rock. Now that I'm home and the lights are off they are both sleeping in it! Almost instantly. So if you want a forsure host. Get the natural match

Great article, thanks.

The only point I would add though is that in captivity, "all bets are off." Ie., just because a pairing doesn't occur in nature (eg. ocellaris and haddoni) doesn't mean it won't happen in an aquarium (for that matter, it doesn't mean it will, either).

Ultimately the aquacultured pair of Ocellaris will find it's anemone.

+1 There's probably hundreds of variables in whether or not a clown will bond with an anemone and in the home aquarium we don't always have those covered over. Not the least of which is the personal disposition of the clowns.
