Anemones and other fish

[kamal2099]

Hi Guys,

I have a couple of Magnifica Anemones and 1 clown in my RT and they are on the top of a live rock on the left side of the aquarium.

The issue is that other fish in the tank don't go near the live rock, maybe kind of scared of the anemones.

I was wondering if there are any other fish that might swim around that area as it's odd to see all fish on one side while another side is empty with only the live rock.

Thanks
Kamal

Damsels but they are a pain

Hi Aussieiniowa - I have a couple of yellowtail damselfish but they dont swim around that area at all.

Green clown goby?

Juvenile domino damsels often associate with anemones, but they can be aggressive. I have also heard that Banggai cardinals may associate with anemones.

Get a smaller mate for the clown. Hopefully they'll pair up & move into the nem.

Hi all, thanks for the info.

I already have a clown that moves around in the nems. but no other fish swim around or below them.

Got a friend who told me to feed the fish near the nems, they do come to eat but they go back on the right side eight after.

Basically got 1/3 of the tank with no fish. Lol.

You don't say what other fish are in the tank or how the rockwork is set up. Moving the rocks around might help.

As far as fish that will go near anemones, juvenile dominos will as mentioned previously. I've also seen videos of banggai cardinals associating with anemones in the wild as well.

Bangaii cardinals will, mine is semi-hosted by my LTA.
