Hey everyone,
I have a black Onyx and a Flurry Snowflake Clownfish living in a 45gal DisplayTank. They have 4 baby anemones to play with, each anemone at about 1-1.5", so the fish is bigger than his home LOL, its pretty funny to see the but of a clownfish randomly sticking out of the rocks... when they need a bigger bed they transfer to the Brain Coral that is about 5" and they can lay on the Brain and fall asleep.
Of course this habit of theirs has brought on some scar tissue on their skin and are generating small black/dark-grey spots on their skin.
I will be upgrading to a Red Sea Reefer 350 (73 gallons). Same scape (same rocks), same equipment, just different tank with more water and new sand.
I also plan to get a massive 8-9" Inferno or Lemon Drop BTA (whichever comes available first at that size) for this new tank.
This is the question at hand:
Should I (would you) get an anemone now so they have large place to host and stop getting stung by the Brain? If so, should it be the inferno/lemon-drop OR just some random anemone (cheaper but big) that might not survive the transfer from the old tank to the new one, and wait to insert the inferno/lemon-drop in the new tank after a couple of months of it running?
Thanks in advance for any and all input
Merry holidays!
