anemone for occs

A lot of us have found that our occell.'s have hosted some goofy things 
Some host corners of the tanks, powerheads, magfloats, and other corals like leathers, mushrooms, hammers, open brains, and anthelia.
We have a pair and they very quickly took to a H. crispa we added. Another memeber on the board has occell.'s hosting a bta. There's a list in the FAQ near the top of the forum, and it lists which nems are natural/wild hosts to which fish. Pairing them up using this list might increase your chances, but is by no means absolute. Once we place things in a glass box full of water, many of the "rules" change as our inhabitants adjust to the changes.
A word about the crispas though. I see you're in MO, we're just north of the river and have shopped north and south of the river and across the stateline in KS. It is VERY difficult to find a healthy crispa, I don't know that I've ever seen one that isn't bleached and starving at a LFS. This makes it tough, some of these won't make it no matter how perfect the care you provide them, on the flip side, others can be nursed back to health. Unless you're ready and willing to take that risk, it may not be the best choice for you.
Also, there's a few local fish/reef group boards in MO, you can PM me if you're interested.
Good luck!
