Allard clown question

[salty joe]

I have a breeding pair of Allard and love them! I've read that they will have a relationship with a BTA, but will they not go into a mag?

I would think a magnifica would host them just fine,

According to Fautin/Allen, the natural hosts for allardi are BTAs, H. aurora and S. mertensii. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the chose a magnifica as host if given no other anemone options. However, if there is a BTA or BTAs in the tank, I suspect that they'd use that as their host even if the mag was a lot larger.
