    I couldn't believe it, soon as i put the anemone in the tank my clowns was swimming around it constantly and showing alot of interest.

    I went down stairs for something to eat and 20 minutes later when i came back upstairs my smallest clown had hosted. The larger clown finally moving in around an hour later.

    So excited about this as my last anemone didn't get any love or even a look from my clownfish.

    Shall post pictures later as i need a ID on the anemone.

    I have a bubble coral and hammer corals in my tank and they never took interest in them. Now, seems the clowns have hosted , would i need to direct feed chopped prawns into the mouth or will the clownfish take the food and feed it?


    Thanks

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Give the anemone a couple weeks to acclimate before you feed it. If you have good lighting and the tank is not too deep, you only need to feed the anemone every couple weeks. Feed 1/4 sized raw sea food.

    Congrats
