Clowns do not host anything. It's using the feather duster as a host.It’s hosting the feather duster
My Clowns are being hosted by a Mushroom....... and my powerheadmy clownfish keep burrowing himself into the feather duster. Do I need to get an anemone for him? Will the anemone eat my other fish? what kind of anemone is the safest?
Just wondering - is the feather duster retracting or mostly just putting up with it? My feather duster is so quick to retract that I’d be amazed if he ever hosted clowns.my clownfish keep burrowing himself into the feather duster. Do I need to get an anemone for him? Will the anemone eat my other fish? what kind of anemone is the safest?
Sorry, you're saying that rock flower anemones are dangerous to clowns? Hadn't heard that. Why is that?It does not have to have any anemone to feel good. The common anemones in the trade which are unsafe for clownfishes are the long tentacle anemones & the rock anemones. Generally your clown will keep other fish away from any 'nem that it hosts.
Yeah I am wondering about this too.Sorry, you're saying that rock flower anemones are dangerous to clowns? Hadn't heard that. Why is that?
Long tentacle nems can host clownsIt does not have to have any anemone to feel good. The common anemones in the trade which are unsafe for clownfishes are the long tentacle anemones & the rock anemones. Generally your clown will keep other fish away from any 'nem that it hosts.
Long tentacle nems can host clowns
Yeah I am wondering about this too.
@Birdbrains? Also, what do you mean by long tentacle anemones are unsafe for clownfish? They're the natural host for a bunch of clownfish species, and is a common host for even more species in the aquaria.
So why are they unsafe?I have 5 long ten nen's hosting 4 Clowns
Probably is best for new folks who have never kept anems to try bubble tips first in my opinion. I wouldn't want to be sold the wrong type of long tentacle and see my clown disappearI was not referring to the Macrodactyla Doreensis, I was talking about the Condylactis
I keep a macrodactyla and it is hosting Polymnus, but where I am from, the Macrodactylas are called "corkscrew" anemones, not "long tentacle" anemones.
The condylactis (being a long tentacle anemone in its own right), is still getting sold to unsuspecting hobbyists who are looking for anemones to host clownfish. That is why I mentioned it
Birdbrians? just explained it aboveSo why are they unsafe?
And the rock flower? I ask because I have 2 clowns and I’m getting 3 rock flowers next month
