Anemones in Predator Tank?

[jmoore928]

I was wondering if it was possible of putting a anemone in a predator tank? I would like to put in a Maroon Clown with it...Any advice would be good! Thank you!

Depends on what the predators are, some could care less about anemones. But, you will still need the proper lighting, and one issue with predator tanks is the water quality -- most are very messy eaters. Also, what type of anemone?

It's a Florida Condi or someting of that nature...it's an all white one...

be careful because some predators will and can eat anemones.

That's what I thought. Should I just stick to clownfish and gobies and fish like that?

Host anemones tend to require strong light which is a problem with the high nutrient level in Predator tanks.

thats what i would go with. that way, you can have corals and anemones, depending on your lighting.

I keep a 9" miniatus grouper in with my BTA's and there has never been a problem. The cleaner shrimp cause more harm then the grouper. The grouper does nothing to my bio-load compared to the 30 BTA's that get fed 3 or 4 times a week.

has anyone done like a tessalata eel with anenome's?

 

[Bmgrocks]

the tessa will be just fine
its the host you should worry about!

I have never had any of my eels (snowflakes) bother my anemones. You will have to make sure the clownfish if you keep any are large enough that the eel will not go after them.
