Need help, looking for Caribbean Anemone & Damsel

[Kworker]

Like the title suggests.. I have been having trouble finding info on it. But I am looking to find species of anemone from Caribbean that would naturally host a Caribbean species of Damsel maybe even a Chromis. I have a tank with Caribbean rock and substrate so that's the look im going for.

No responses? :(

I did find that diamond blennies naturally would live in condys. But that's it right now.

You know as much as I know. I'd respond, but the Condy is the only one I know of. And that baby eats fish.

:/ may just go rbta and tank bred clowns than. I wish I thought of this a month ago when I went on a scuba trip to the Caribbean I would of actually paid attention to see if I can spot some. Thanks for reply though. Like I said I may go clown route since I like the idea of tank bred

definetly go RBTA, carribean anemones arent the best, and id suggest dont get a damsel, they might look good and are affordable but if you add other fish there very territorial as they age. And not the easiest fish to get out of a tank.
Your choice but my opinion

The nems in the Caribbean didn't host any fish that I saw. There was one with a tiny (goby?) around it but that's all I saw. There may be some but there were none in the locations we were.

You can sort of see the tiny fish in this nem.

Ever thought of getting a Carpet Nem? They have some of the best coloring on an Anemone.

Wouldn't add any other fish, I prefer stocking light. Which is why I consider it.

Lol those kind of look like neon gobies it is hard to see though. Research told me they do host cleaning stations.

Don't carpets get pretty large? My tank is 24Lx17w X 12h.. its a 20h on its side. I could upgrade to a 20 long if I choose. Which is why I would do a rbta

Sealifeinc has Florida collected livestock and were real good to deal with!

Thanks for that suggestion. I have decided I am going to ditch the anem idea and pack the tank with zoas and ricordeas like I actually thought of before the damsel nem idea... I'm ordering those corals and a pair of gold cbs tomorrow so I'll post pics Tuesday on my nano thread :)
