BTA and clown goby

[magranche]

I have a yellow clown goby who loves to perch on everything. I would really like to get a BTA but know there is the possibility of my fish becoming a meal. Does anyone have a tank with these two animals in it or have thoughts on this combination?
I know you can't tell me it's 100% safe but any feedback would be great

Thanks,
Miranda

Do you have any clowns that might take over the 'nem and protect it?

I have a pair of ocellaris clowns as well as an anemone shrimp. The clowns tend to wander while the anemone shrimp rarely leaves his heliofungia. I just want to make sure I am not setting my clown goby up for a certain death.

Well my thinking was that if the clowns take it over, they wont let the goby in, and thus he is kept safe. But no guarantee the clowns will take to the 'nem =/

I think you should be OK. There is always a risk that any fish will become a snack for an anemone. I had a clown goby with my two anemones and it never became a snack.
