Anemone/clown help

[Jkraft136]

Ok well my gbta was eaten by a fireworm that is no longer in my system. Well my wife really wants another one and im looking for the best one to get for the purpose of a. ocellaris to host in. My clowns never looked at the gbta but that might be because it was only about 2-3 inches big.Which would be my best choice?

what kind of lighting, flow, inhabitants, and parameters do you have?

Ocellaris take work to get them into a BTA. I don't really want to recommend anything else without knowing your level of experience or a little about your system.

Given your join date, I'm going to make a guess that your experience does not exceed the age of your system.

That being the case i would not recommend venturing outside these species:
E. quadricolor, S. haddoni, and M. doreensis. If you really want to be responsible, just stick with the E. quads.... captive propagated ones at that.

Ocellaris , I think the easy one that they will host quickly is the sebae or long tentacle. Try to get bigger than 5 inch. S. Hadonni is very nice but it is harder to keep compare to the other two.

Well i started the system back in dec of 08, didn't find rc til i joined a local reefing club. Ended up picking another bta this afternoon. Im currently finishing acclimating him. Ill get new pics up later. Nice size,closed mouth, was being hosted by a clarki at the lfs.

Well it looks like he stopped moving for the past hour. He's upside on one of my rocks . Hoping he doesn't move to the back of the tank where i can't see him
