Looks great! I love anemones. They act weird from time-to-time, they'll definitely test your patience and knowledge, but the rewards are awesome!

Sweet! Now let's see how long it takes for your Ocellaris to discover their new pad. Took my fire clowns about five days, and that was with four or five nems to choose from lol.

Hey, was just reading your thread to get some information on anemones. How is yours doing? Question: how long have you had your tank up and running? I'm coming onto the 5 month mark, but feel this may be way too early. Any suggestions? Have your clowns starting hosting?

Mine is still alive, not thriving as well when I first got it, gonna keep monitoring it and possibly move it to another tank. Clownfish have not shown an interest yet.

I had my tank up approximately 3 months before putting a BTA in and it did fine, I’ve noticed they really thrive under stable tank conditions and weekly feedings. Feeding isn’t necessarily needed but I’ve found it makes them grow faster and duplicate. They also keep their color which can supplement lighting. If you’re new I would wait a bit to make sure you have a routine down. Also BTAs can be weird and have a mind of their own so let them do their thing and they usually do just fine.
