Clarkii Anemones ???

[Soccerscales]

What would be a good anemone for the clark's clownfish. I have a 24 gallon nano cube. I have a dragon goby and a green clown goby 4 snails and 4 hemit crabs. Something easy to maintain. Thanks Guys (gals)

I know they will go in carpets. I had one that hosted an RBTA the day she went in my tank. In fact, she wanted it so badly she killed the fish that was in it.

Clarki's are not very picky when it comes to hosting an anemone. I've had great luck with Riterri Anemones and all types of clowns hosting. My percula and False Perc and Skunk all host it just fine. I have 2 Bubble Tips that my other false percula hosts. Those 2 would work. Pretty much anything except a Condy would be OK. It may take some time though so be patient. If the clarkii is tank raised it might never happen. Good Luck

Most anemones are going to outgrow a 24g cube in a short time. I'd wait for a larger tank, myself. I have a BTA in a 29g with no fish and it's really too big for that tank, IMO. This thread might be useful:

Everyone's right. Clarki's will host just about anything. I've had mine since October. Got him and a GBTA at the same time. Within 24 hours, he was hosting.

Thanks guys for the help. What is the differance between the Tank raised and the others?

 

[bertoni]

The tank-raised seem to be hardier, but also can be smaller than the wild-caught ones on average. If the tank-raised ones get to adult size without seeing an anemone, they might not be willing to enter a host.

Well i got the clowns on the 22 of Febuary there was a sebae anemone there that they were taking to What do i feed it ???

 

[bertoni]

Whole krill or silversides would be my starting point. You can chop up the krill, etc, but feed all of the animal, IMO.
