G'day Nem experts.
I am looking at acquiring a Malu anemone, however the main reason would be to host my pair of Ocellaris clownfish. The reason I am interested in a Malu is I don't believe a carpet or Magnifica would be the right choice for my tank (due current Aquascape, and reluctance to take them onboard due size/predation (predation mostly for carpet, less concerned for this aspect with Mag). I could potentially get a BTA though I am concerned about wandering. A Mag would require a substantial rework of my 'scape; though I could certainly do this.
I have a 4x2x2, 120G, 11 months old, currently have about 25-30 mixed reef corals that are mostly SPS, with a sand bed varying from 1-4" depending on location/current/diamond goby. Lighting is provided by 3x Kessil A-360WE though I am currently looking to supplement with T5. I have 4x Powerheads providing what I'm confident is sufficient flow.
Please - feel free to poke holes in my plan.
Firstly - would the malu be likely to host the clowns. Perhaps not immediately, but over time? there seems to be ample evidence of Malu and Ocellaris hosting (youtube, R2R etc)
Secondly would the tank setup be suitable (sand, light, flow).
Regards,
Shaun
