Clownfish Hosting "Maxi Mini" Anemones

[Sugar_tan32]

Hey everyone, so as stated in the title, I was just curious if clownfish would host a maxi mini carpet?? I've looked around
and done a bit of research but it does not look so great. Thing is, most of the maxi mini I have seen talked about were rock
flower anemone while the one I found looks like a regular green carpet just smaller(Maxi Mini). Anyone with experience,
do's and don't, yes or no would be greatly appreciated! Been away from the hobby for about 7 years and this is a bit new to
me, used to have a big green carpet anemone which use to host my rod's onyx before I left.
Thanks

Well mini carpets can be fish eaters I've always known the mini carpets to never host clowns but there's always a first for everything I mean no one though clowns would host a frog spawn but it happens so the least you can do is try it and hope the clowns pick the anemone as their host and if they do even as slim the chance is that the anemones doesn't eat the clown fish you'd be more successful if you added a bubble tip they are super easy anemones that can do pretty well in newer tanks compared to most other hosting anemones. Hope this helps best of luck

In the same way people don't host houses...clowns don't host anemones. Anemones HOST clownfish.

My tank is a bit smaller this time around so maybe I'll try going with a bubble tip anemone. They do also look pretty nice. Thanks for the help, I'd rather be sure with the anemone since I don't want it to chow down on an expensive clown lol.

Haha very true! Thanks for re-wording it properly.
