hooligan_78 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 As an anemone addict, I'm always wanting to see good shots of hosting anemones. So let's see a pic of what you have and what it's hosting. Maybe tell us a little about what it is, what lives in/on it and maybe how long you've had it. Here's a pic of my H. Crispa (sebae) about 2 weeks after I got it. I've had it about a month and my pair of true percs want nothing to do with it yet, but it does host a porcelain crab. Link to comment
Goby Angyl Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I was so lucky to get this guy! I'd given up on finding an anemone for my 10 gallon soft coral reef. I was buying a Nerite snail to help nibble on a diatom problem and spotted the left over shell with anemone after an anemone hermit crab had died. I knew it was safe buy and promptly bought it. The sexy shrimp like to come by it sometimes, but no one is hosting it. It would be awesome if something started hanging out with it full time. It looks like a pinkish flower, won't hurt my gobies, eats stuff out of the water, won't grow too big for my 10 gallon, and so far it doesn't wander around! It has shifted around on the shell a little so maybe it will start walking, but there's nothing to hurt so I'm not worried. If it can swallow a shrimp pellet it can eat live brine shrimp, but so far it appears to be the perfect anemone for tiny tanks! Even picos! Link to comment

hooligan_78 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Nice Fab! Well, last night my female perc, for whatever reason, decided to accept the H.Crispa as her host, probably won't be long until the porcelain crab gets evicted. Link to comment
mike c Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Heres a pic, and a couple vids, back when I had my Rose Bulb. Unfortunately it outgrew my tank. My two Percs loved it! When I introduced it to my tank, I placed it in a spot where water flowed just above its tentacles. Nems will walk the tank till they they find a spot thats suits them, which is usually exactly this. The 6 months I had, I NEVER moved once. Luck? Or good placement? Either way I was stoked! Now my clowns move across the whole front of the tank, with the choice of three different hosts. My Hammer, Duncan, and fuzzy mushrooms now get molested daily. Vid Vid Link to comment
Doliver Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Gone after a suction-held power head fell of the glass and blew directly on it for a while. Started to migrate, and wound up meeting the PH. It was a healthy guy for over a year. Link to comment
sanchez Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The only thing this guy is hosting is a small hole in my wallet. The clowns don't even know it exists, and tend to stick to the frogspawn. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 That looks like a sunburst from Gonzo. Link to comment

Looks more like Sexy Coral's sig nem. I'd def love one, one of my dream nems. Here's mine: Link to comment
belsenj Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Not quite as pretty as some of the nems in the pictures, but I want to share my two nonetheless. Shortly after I got my Clarki, it developed Ick and then the rot, so I quickly put together and old 5.5G tank that I had in my garage. I did a dip on the Clarki and put him in the tank. Within a week, I also started having problems with my Condy, so I put it in the 5.5 as well. I did not expect either of them to live after going into an uncycled tank, but they sure have. After 2 months of rehab together... I just transferred them into their new permanent home yesterday, a Fuval Edge 6G. Link to comment
Seamonkey84 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I just transferred them into their new permanent home yesterday, a Fuval Edge 6G. By permanent I hope u mean for only the next couple weeks maybe months. Clarkii clowns should be in minimum 20-30 gallons, and the Condy may eventually eat the clown as its not naturally a hosting anemone. If the condy does well, it too will need a bigger tank as it can get rather large. However, that said, my clown and bubble tips are currently in my frag-display tank which is an Aqueon evolve8. I'm going to be moving both into my 46 bow when lights are upgraded, or maybe just fragging the bubble tips as they get bigger. Link to comment
belsenj Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The Clarkii never leaves the side of the Condy, so as long as they are both happy, this is where they will stay. If I see that either is stressing with their environment, then I can change things up. But for now, this is it. I can always set up another tank that is bigger, haha and probably will I do have a 30G as well but my dottyback will have something to say about it. btw, this Clarkii feed the nem as soon as food goes into the tank, so the nem is well taken care of as far as food. I really should get a video of it as the Clarkii feeds the nem before it even eats a bite. Nice stuff! Link to comment
