anemone for a clown

[reret10]

hey everyo ne. I have a saltwater tank thats been cycling for about 4 months. its a ten gallon reef with a HOB skimmer, a powerhead and a heater.it has 10 pounds of live rock and a clownfish and a firefish. I really want to put in an anemone. i have a 36 watt T5 light system. I dont plann on putting any corals in it save maybe a few mushroom corals. Are there any anemones that would do well in this tank. Do clownfish host these anemones if they exist? I really like BTA s but people say 20 gallon tanks. its about the only invert in there save a fer hermits and a snail so maybe that would work. what do you guys think?

I recently added a tank-bred maroon clownfish to my 27 cube and it matched to my BTA within an hour and now never leaves it more than a few inches. I think you could do a small BTA in a 10 gallon IF you are a perfectionist and will maintain stable water conditions. I have several BTA's in that tank and he chose the smallest one that is about the size of a golf ball. I do have a much larger tank I can transfer them to so you might want to be willing to upsize if necessary.

yes i will probably be able to upsize but not untill next fall. How fast do they grow?

Doesn't sound like enough light.

And I'm pretty sure they need pristine water conditions. Not sure if 4 months would be enough to determine if its stable yet

Alright I guess I will just wait than
