Anemone selection

[Babydaull]

At the moment I have a GBTA in a 20 gallon Nuvo fusion. Two ocellaris clown host it. My anemone is in the back right of my tank away from all my corals. I would like to give my clown another anemone.

So my question, is there an other anemone I can put with the GBTA that won't like kill and is there an anemone that is known not to move that much.

mini carpet or rock flower anemone. but it wont host any clownfish.

Try the rbta or rainbow bta, they stay put n not move as much as the gbta. Atleast thats my experience. My gbta was annoying, it moved everyday.

Can either of these be by GBTA with out any issues ?

Mine will be really close to the bubble tip? Should that be an issue? Will the clownfish still swim in it? Or will it just be there?

my clownfish dont pay any attention to it.

Will they host a haddoni

I have more than 20 different kinds if anemones in my 75g. None of them bother each other. There are as many as 8 BTAs and a couple of rock flower anemones on one rock. They are huge and so close to each other, it's hard to tell them apart. And they rarely ever move. (When one does move, I can almost always relate it to lighting. They prefer my T5s to my led. Sometimes they will move out of the range of my cheap leds and closer to the T5 lights.)
If you want a nem that will host your clowns, get an RBTA. But check out the beautiful mini maxis and rock flowers. I love the variety.

No, but a haddoni may host them.
But a haddoni is not really an option for a 20 gallon tank.

Wow thanks for information guys,
Alright so let's see if I can get an answer to this.
What other anemones can I have in my 20 gallon that will host with my clown fish. I'd like to get something other than a bta

The host is the anemone, not the fish.
In a 20 gal, the only host anemone you can keep is BTA and/or H. Malu, if you have about a 2-3 inches sand bed. They will need the sand bed and will stay in the sand and not move too much. Percula and Ocellaris have no problem with use Malu as host.
I have a picture of mine somewhere. Right now I have a A. Percula in mine.
