Quarantine

Quick question. I just bought a pair of platinum clowns, they have been hosting an anemone. Should I quarantine all together?

I don’t see why not. If all seem happy and don’t need to be medicated shouldn’t be a problem at all. Keeping them together will keep them happy in the quarantine tank.

You can but if you find a issue with one or both of the clown fish you will have to remove the anemone to treat the fish especially if you treat with copper . Don’t forget to acclimate and dip ( not copper) the anemone before you place in show tank regardless whether you treat the clowns or not . I personally would dip( not copper ) and place the anemone immediately and leave the clowns in quarantine on there own and that’s because I always add a light dose of copper to my quarantine tank but that’s me . I’m sure others will say that they don’t treat unless there’s a issue and that’s fine too . Good luck and hope this helps

As said above you can QT them together but if the anemone needs treated or the clowns need treated you will have to separate and treat accordingly. I QTed mine together and was fortunate enough that my anemone didn't have a bacterial infection and the clowns were disease free.
