Can my tank host an anemone?

[k_dog345]

And if so, what type?

I have a biocube 14, stock 10k florescent light and a true lumen blue led strip for my blue spectrum.

Would like to have something for my clown fish to host....of an anemone won't work, any suggestions on what I could get for my clowns to host?

Thanks!

If you work on bringing nutrients up it should be fine but they can grow big!

Yes! I do have some bleaching, my tank is recovering from a couple of bad events. I've been supplementing with seachem reef fusion for alkalinity and calcium. I'm also spot feeding my corals with phyllo and for the Duncan and frogspawn I've been directly feeding brine shrimp. Colors of the corals are getting much better in a short period!

Friend of mine tried in his 14g biocube. It was a larhe rbta in my tank, but it got into his it shrank down to practically nothing. I have the 29g bc and trying a green one, he's not doing so hot right now. May have to puyhim in the 150.

Give that xenia a chance to grow and they may be hosted by that.. Mine do

I wouldn't recommend it. A tank that small without a HOB skimmer and a custom LED is no long term place for much more than a couple fish. Sorry if that's straight forward, but that's many years of experience of fish keeping. :)

One of mine just started hosting in a torch coral.

Thanks guys! Decided not to go with an anemone because of the risk of losing coral. Now we're just hoping our Duncan will get big enough for the clowns to host. Maybe even the frogspawn if it'll recover!
