    I know people that have had bad luck with trying to adapt Ocellaris to an anemone. Can anyone recommend a type that I might have some luck with?

    That can depend a lot on whether or not the clown is tank raised or wild caught. That being said, it took about 2 months for my tank raised ocellaris to take to a bubble tip anemone.

    Choices depend on what type of lighting you have as well...what do you have? :)

    It took my ocellaris clowns at least 6 months before they started going into the sebae anemone.

    As a follow up to amcarrig's post...are tank raised clowns more or less likely to take to the anemone then the wild caught ones? Just curious

    I have a young oscellaris clown that hosts in a bunch of Xenia :)
    I believe wild caught clowns are likely to host quicker. I had a wild caught Tomato Clown that jumped right in my wifes RBTA.

    Watts, I need watts.... ;D Actually if you have all PC's I wouldn't attempt anything more difficult than a bubble tip anemone....and I am not too sure about that., depends on the wattage ;)
