Anemone Success Stories? (BTA)

i have had a long tentacle anemone (green) for over 4 years now and its only moved once due to me changing from T5's to MH i have 2 clowns that host with it and everyone seems to be very happy, i know i am and if you want to see some pics i have some i will post if you like

 

Cool, sure I'd love to see some pics! I am just now researching different nems so my brain is on sponge mode.

 

I saved a pair of ocellaris clowns from my LFS when a tank went kaput. Didn't plan on it but hey, I needed new fish since both of mine jumped out and died(on the same day at that). So a couple of weeks later I went to my favorite LFS to get a nem. They had a bunch of bubble tips so I got one. Did some research and seemed they wouldn't mix. My clowns proved it wrong. They love it. Took about a week. The wife called one day and told me they were all over the BTA. All are doing great!

 

Pic of the pair and there BTA!

 

nice. apparently they are not impossible to keep.....

 

I've had mine almost 4 years now. The first few months were hell! He moved constantly around the tank, my clowns ignored it too. THen I moved the clowns to my reef only setup to see if they would breed, meanwhile, Mr anemone picked a spot and has been there for years. After 3 months or so I moved the clows back to my 77 gallon, to my surprise, they are hosting the anemone and have been for quite awhile now. I feed him twice a week religiously with no problems, so there's your success story!!

 

Yes, I know several ocellaris that host in BTA's.

My 2 false percs have not yet gone to one of the BTA's in my tank yet though. That may be because the original false pers was in the tank when I had my nasty mean maroon clown hosting in in a couple of the BTA's. She remembers the chases that would happen when she got near the maroon's nem's.

These 2 ocellaris are now checking out the RBTA's I have left. If I had not sold the one RBTA recently the clowns were checking that one out and probably would be hosting in them now.

Mine will figure it out and host int he BTA's.

 

great input everyone, I'm getting closer to possibly trying a BTA in my tank.

Only thing I'm concerned about is how likely it will get shredded in my Koralia Evo PH's, thoughts?

 

I'd guess not very likely to nearly certain, depending on whether you put it in the right spot or it has to go searching for one.

 

Got it, I think, hmmm not very likely to nearly certain is a bit broad . So it's a crapshoot, should I take the chance?

Any BTA owners with un-modded Koralia PH's out there want to chime in on their success' or failures?
