Anemone compatiblity, hosts and its care???

Agreed not a good idea IMO.

 

Hey guys, not all, but these are my choices. i also have a 23g reef with a 12g sump, to which im gona connect this 28g...... so the water vol. will be good.... in 23g, i just have a pair of Oc. clown. might add a damsel and a skunk or blood shrimp in that...

 

Water volume is good but it cannot take the place of swimming room.

 

ok, then please suggest me with the bio load..... here is the list of fishes i like... for 28g: a pair of black or sebae clown with GBTA, bangai, fire dart fish, lawnmower blenny, urchins, skunk cleaner or blood red shrimp and star fish... For 23g: other then a pair of clown, skunk cleaner or blood red shrimp, urchins, snails and a damsel....

 

My two cents...I'd X the damsel. They get so aggressive especially in smaller spaces. Other than the damsel, I think your plan sounds ok.

 

kool, wont add damsel, as i already have in my other tank.... will dart and lawnmower stay together? will gbta eat my other fish?

 

typically if what you want to add is considered reef safe it should be ok with the anemone (there are some exceptions) I love e-quadricolors however the tend to wander more than others especially if your lighting is inadequate...

 

i have a 29g, with a 150w HQI MH, with 3 RBTA, and one tomato clown. they are as happy as can be! they are huge and healthy and one of them has split (used to have 2) but i do imagine in a few years they might take over the tank, which doesnt really bother me cause they are the main stars of my tank.

 

what other fish u got with RBTA?

 

just a heads up, my clown ignore my RBTA and hosting hairy mushroom and toad stool. Someone suggested to purchase a already hosted anemone with the clown fish. That is a good idea to start with. As far as for tank mate, I think BTA usually won't bother fish as much. I would however scrap the idea with few urchins. I think it is a bit too small of a tank keep multiple urchins. You might get away with just 1. I would also drop the shrimp if possible unless u really really want them. They sometimes will bother the anemone by trying to pick up left over waste from BTA and "dancing" on top of the BTA.
