Amphiprion akindynos compatabilities

Hi, would anyone be able to help me figure out the natural host nem/s for this clown species?

According to animaldiversity.org, A. akindynos is pretty flexible, and accepts the following anemones:

"Host species of anemone for A. akindynos are: Entacmaea quadricolor, Heteractis aurora, H. crispa, H. magnifica, Stichodactyla haddoni, and S. mertensii. (Allen, 1980; Allen, 1991; Fautin and Allen, 1992; Froese and Pauly, 2002; Randall, et al., 1990)"

Sounds like it should be relatively easy to find a home for one ... or a few!

I don't have them yet, but here's a photo of a meduim-large pair from work. They really show the damsel clown connection, and are so "ugly" I love them :3

Wow one sure has that "come at me bro" look.

Prepare to wear gloves when you work in their tank.

Very cool looking clowns.

I love clowns like that that have "expressions". I just got a Gold Nugget Maroon and from the front he looks like a smoshed lion and from the side he has an evil grin [emoji4]
