    Does anyone know where I can buy a True Percula with a host coral? I have seen some for sale at one time but forgot which web site it was.

    Contrary to what my custies always tell me, TANK RAISED clowns WILL host anemones!! Sometimes it just takes a bit. ALSO clowns will host with things other than anemones. I have had a tomato in a featherduster.. my mated pair of percs host in my frogspawn ATM... Remember that in the wild not every anemone hosts any clown and many clowns only host with a certain anemone. Clarkii clowns are the most universal hostee's and bubble tip are the most universal host,(for the most part) But again in the wild, marroons are most commonly found with bubbles and percs and ocellaris are usually found in carpets.
    People also think that condylactus will not host clowns.. they will it just takes awhile.

    Keep in mind that anemones move and can kill other inverts, esp the carpets who BTW need lots of light!!

    I have one black & white, one maroon clown, and one hammer coral, but they don't know each other are even alive. I'm going to get rid of the maroon. He's mean to the black and white, and not that great looking IMH.
