Frost Bite Clowns - Sea Anemone

[Tinawolf760]

Hello!! I am new to reefing and so excited to learn and get started! My tank has cycled, and I just added two frost bite clowns to my fish tank. I would like to get them an anemone, any suggestions?

Get a nice bubble tip and show the clowns a few YouTube videos of clowns hosting anemones. Done it 3 times I swear it works within an hour tops.

Welcome to R2R! If the anemone is on the backburner for a little bit, what is your next fish going to be?

Welcome to the site that you should probably make your home page now that you dove in!
What are you looking for in a Nem? Carpet, plain, exotic color?
Time is your best investment for our reefs. Take you time and it will be there for years, I would heed the already given advice, and wait a while before adding one.
I agree that the clowns in a nem is amazing to watch/behold, but, a sick and dead nem is horrid, ask how I found out. Unfortunately I was a young reefer 20 years ago when I tried a “common” one.
Now I would wait at least 6 months before introducing one in a well stocked (bacteria and fish) and fed tank.
But, my friend introduced one after 2 months and it is extremely healthy after almost a year, but as always in reefs, ymmv.

Great! Thanks for the advice. I will TRY to be patient for now :)

Thank you! I have no idea right now, maybe a fire fish? Any suggestions? I guess I want to try to get the more timid fish in the tank first..

Blennies tend to add a lot of personality to a tank. I've also heard good things about fire fish, but have no personal experience with them.

Welcome!

This is a great community as others have already stated. You will find a wealth of information on these forums. I'm still in the learning process myself and try to find the answers here first with pretty good success.
