I have a pair of 1.5" designers coming next week. They'll be the only clowns in a 40B nem only tank. I have a pair of designers in my current mixed reef, but they haven't touched any of my bubble tips yet. I have 3 RBTA, and 1 Black Widow that are very healthy. I also have 1 bleached green wild caught BTA. It has been in captivity for 7 mo. and never recovered well from it's trip overseas. This nem was a gift from a friend and while it looks better than when I got it a month ago, I'm still not confident it will make it.
Here's the question : Would it be a bad idea to put my new baby clowns in my acclimation box with the bleached nem? My gut tells me there is a chance it will eat them, and I feel the better course of action would be to get one of my healthy nems off my rockwork. The only reason I'm considering using the bleached nem is he's already in the box and I've read clownfish can sometimes help unhealthy BTA. Any advice greatly appreciated.
