Changing anemone Q's

[cowboyswife]

I currently have a pink tip haitian anemone that my mated false-percs host. That nem is getting so big, and at the rate he is growing, within the next 6 months he will outgrow my tank. When he is outstretched, his tentacles are close to a foot long. Tonight I started thinking about getting the clowns a new nem and was wondering what kind I could get. I LOVE the h. crispas and I like that their tentacles dont get near as long as other nems. I also love RBTAs. What is the likelyhood of my clowns accepting a new nem after being in my haitian since the day I brought the nem home? I dont want to get an anemone that the clowns dont usually host (again), and then they resort to hosting my powerhead, xenia, or frogspawn. I also dont want a nem that gets totally gigantic since I only have a 40L. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK BTAs grow relatively slowly...I can't guarantee that your clowns will host it though.

Ok thats good to know! Thanks for the reply!

The main thing Im worried about is the length of an anemones tentacles, so a BTA might be worth a shot.

Keep in mind that a BTA may or may not end up with longer tentacles too, not all of them stay "bubbly"

It seems to be some weird personal "choice" they make...we're not really sure what it is yet.
