Best Anemone for....

[24gnanonewbie]

I have 2-False Ocellaris Clowns(Amphiprion ocellaris) and I am wondering what everyone has seen as the best Anemone for these clowns to host to...

I have been looking @ a RBTA... but wanted to see if a 24g AP Nano Cube is large enough to hold one.

Thanks for the help, in advance!

Bta in a 24g cube could be a problem but some BTA will split before they get too big for a 24g some wont

It would be large enough, but you need to give it plenty of room. An RBTA is a great choice for a beginner in anems and ocellaris will many times readily accept it as a host. That, of course, depends on the fish and their preferences.

Lighting?

for a 24 g i would have about 125 watts of lighting.
and agreed that they split and it will not be an option if this is a reef tank because they split and like to move time to time and can sting your corals.

I have a 70w Metal Halide... that will soon be upgraded to a 150w metal halide.

Are there specific corals they like to sting? Or how would I protect against it?

no corals that thay can reach so you could only have a couple other corals that might need to move if the anemone moves close to them

youll be fine in a tank that size. just move the corals around if need be til it settles in a spot. make sure you cover all your filter intakes too.
