Anemones & Clowns

[TJimino]

How many kinds of Anemones and clown fish are out there. And what is the best ones?

 

[stykthyn]

man that is a loaded question

I am gonna suggest ocellaris with a bta, but I am sure you are going to hear a bunch of different opinions before this thread dies.

 

[kellyandcarrie]

ocellaris and a BTA is probably the most common, they were easy for me to pair and keep healthy... but very common. I'd like to try pair something a little more unique next time.

Anemones & Clowns

I know I have 4 kinds of clowns Reg ones, skunks , tomatoes And working on a pair of Maroon and gold stripe. and yes in different tanks all but the Skunks and the reg ones.

I think a BTA is your easiest bet of the ten host actinians. I would get the largest, healthiest one you can find. Preferably a clone from another reefer.
Then, choose the clowns that you like the best, research their care and disposition toward other potential tank mates and go get them.

bta is widely considerd one of the easiet anemones, the long tentacle is also fairly easy. true percs, or black percs are great tank mates.

I would recommend you read the FAQ threads at the top of this board.
