hello all. I am thinking about putting a nem in my 20 gallon drop off. I’ve successfully kept them in the past in my 50 cube but not sure if I want the nem in the smaller tank do to room.

The tank has 2 clown fish in it and I hope they would host. I have lots of frogspwans and hammer corals but still have free space. What nem would give me the best chance of the clown fish hosting ?

It’s a snowflake clown and a black with white stripes clown. The 20 gal is new but well established as it was set up with everything from the 50 cube which was up for 2.5 years.

Unfortunately the anemones that offervthe best chance of being viewed as an acceptable host are also the ones most tricky to acclimate. BTA is much easier, but less attractive as a host.
