Nemo_4_Ever Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Just wondering whats the easiest to keep anemone that can host a percula clown and wont eat your other fish? :| get back to me asap Link to comment
Kennetht Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Easiest is a Bubble Tip Anemone, but it still requires decent lighting and feeding. Also, there is no sure way to know if your clown would host. The TRUE host for a Percula Clown is the Ritteri Anemone (Heteractis magnifica), but that is one of the hardest anemones to keep healthy and alive. If you have never had an anemone.....please start with something like a Condy (Condylactis gigatea)....it's not a clown hosting anemone....but they are usually cheap. Link to comment

offsprg01 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 nemo there is no such thing as an easy to keep anemone . they only truly hardy ones are flower anemones or muchroom anemones (smae thing just diffrent names) but t hey don't host anyything but crabs. (most are not big enough for fish anyway) you need to let you tank age for 6 plus months before you can house an anemone thay may host a clown. and even then iot won't be easy. wtaer chem has to be stable and in good condition. lights have to be super btight pc preferbably metal halide. and you need to do alot of research. you tank is very young and not ready for an anenome yet. have patience you'll be better off in the long run.

PufferMatt Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Condi anemones are extremely easy to keep.. but for the most past clowns wont host in them, though i have seen a couple that have. Link to comment
