What suggestions on clown-anemone do you have?

Hoping for a anemone hosting fish combo in the next week...

What is everyones favorite Clown - Anemone combo out there?

I'm not too picky about the clown, I just don't want a skunk.

Small clowns are good for me...

 

How big is the system, and how long has it been set up.

 

I have a 5 gal and its been set up for 2 days....



JK... ha ha


Ive been going for 5 years plus, its a 29 gal bio-cube, skimmer and ref...

 

lol a 5 gallon ehh? should be able to keep a emperor angelfish easy, lol

but really ide say you should get a bubble tip anenome with a true percula clown. thats probelly the most commen. something unordinary to put it there though would be like a blue carpet anenome with a black'n'white clown. that would be really unique. let me know what you end up getting.

 

Carpets get fairly big in size no? what the largest a bubble you reef'rs have seen? any better luck with a certain species?

 

i like the black and white clowns and the rose bubble anemone combination. look at them on liveaquaria too.

 

What lighting? If you have stock lighting, you will be limited to a condy, and even that would be pushing it IMHO.

 

Yes, it is stock lighting.

I had a condy for over a year, it grew HUGE and did very, very well, I just gave it to a new home because I want one that will host.

Here is(was) a pic of it:

 

Here is a good link to check out if considering a bta.

It is better to get the anemone first and let it settle in before adding the clown,this way you don't have the clown stressing the anemone out plus the stress of it trying to settle into its new surroundings.

 

Great link, very useful thank you. ;D

The LFS told me last night to get the anemone first and then the fish.
