anemone substitute

[xcajx]

i am hoping to get my false percs to host in something... can someone suggest the "tamest" of corals that would possibly suffice? ie the less aggressive the better.

 

 

I do like the lt plate corals but worry my 56 watts in my nanocube won't be enough.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

clown will host a lot of different corals. Elegance, xenia, gsp, toadstool, frogspawn, hammer, torch.

Interested in this too. I've had frogspawn and GSP's in my tank, but my clown has shown no interest in them at all. He seems to host with the top of the water. I think I might try a torch next, or maybe a non-branching hammer.

would a non-branching hammer therefore have shorter sweepers?

ive personally never seen a clown sucessfully host in a xenia and the xenia would soon die because anytime anything touches it it will close up and deteriorate from not being open.

hell, my false perc tryed to host with my striped mushroom.

mine hosted xenia for about 3 months. unfortunately my xenia died due to a SG drop from my top off and my laziness. But yes a clown will host it.

LT plate...easy to keep nice long tenticles

i had a perc that hosted in a colony of hairy mushrooms(all were about 3-4inches in circumference)...but before i bought the hairy mushrooms it hosted to a powerhead and to a frogspawn.
