Haitian and curlyque anemone clownfish hosting?

[direfishking27]

are there any clownfish that can host either a curlyque anemone or a hatian anemone?

I had a brain fart there for a second I had to go search the name. I've seen clarkiies at petcos that love them some condys

Neither one of these anemones are a natural host anemone for clowns.

Is there a reason why you picked these two out of others who are natural hosts and a lot prettier?

 

[direfishking27]

Cost I wanted to see if I could keep some and so far they have been great but now that I'm reading up on them apparently there pests

 

[Reefahholic]

Yeah, wouldn't be my first pick. Try a BTA.

How hard is a bta

How hard is a bta

BTA's are simple, I have three thriving in the same tank for about a year now

not really any harder than what you have imo. You need to have good water conditions (low nutrients) and good lighting. I would say that clarkiis are probably the clown that has the most host anemone types. However, they also tend to be among the most aggressive clowns out there so you're probably better off to look at keeping another type of anemone.

What wattage per gallon do I need for bta's

 

[fishroomlady]

what type of lighting do you have? With the new HO lighting and LED's, the watt per gallon doesn't really apply

 

[direfishking27]

I have a coralife light bar with dual t5's one is an acintic and and the other is a color max

 

[fishroomlady]

what size is your tank?

 

[direfishking27]

25 gallon
