    hello everyone i really want a anemone in my tank i really do need to get one in the next week.


    i have 100 dollars to spend on this anemone and i want to get one that is not going to be aggressive

    but i want my clown fish to really enjoy it i would love it to be the center of my tank.

    does anyone have the best anemone for clown fish for around 100 dollars that is 6 inches+

    i think for my clown's (the false percula clown)
    carpet anemone
    Ritteri anemone
    saddle anemone
    and the bubble anemone

    but they are aggressive and it looks like must anemones are aggressive

    Just because you have them in your tank does not mean they will host

    That is correct.. Took mine 6 months to host.. They tend to host bubble tip & keep in mind, you need proper lighting.. What's your tank specs? Size, age, lighting??

    Are your false percs captive bred or wild caught. Its even harder to get a captive bred one to host the anemone.

    Before you add the nem, take out your clowns and let them chill in a bucket with the nem for a few hrs. My brother did it with his BTA and clowns and the BTA has hosted them ever since.

    I got long tentacle anemone @ Petco for just 7$, it was around 7inches diameter. they sold it as conde but it's long tentacle. within day, both my maroon clown fish hosting on it. it fun to watch, they both fight to host at the same time.

    Are you getting this just because you feel the necessity of your clowns to reside within it?

    How old is the 72? What lighting is on there? Flow? Filtration?
