Can Saddlebacks Host RBTA?

[NyteReefer]

Hi, I just saw this awesome pair, of brown saddleback clownfish at a store by my home. They seem to be in good condition. I have a RBTA at home and I was wondering if they would host in it.

I'd also like to know if it would be wise to keep two of them, seeing as how I read they will be aggressive to conspecifics.

If they're a pair, you shouldn't have any compatibility issues. As to hosting, I don't know what their preferred anemone is in the wild, but there's no reason that they wouldn't adopt a BTA. Check out the sticky on clowns and their hosts at the top of this board.

No, but they can be hosted by a RBTA.

Their natural host is a Haddoni carpet anemone. I had a pair of brown saddlebacks many years ago, and they were hosted by an BTA.

K, I'm thinking of getting this pair at my LFS, looking really nice and fat lol.

My saddles hosted rbtas for awhile and now are in a haddoni!

I have a BTA and a Carpet, they prefer the carpet.
