False Perculas hosting

[Circesfire]

Hello,

I was hoping for some suggestions on things that false perculas might host. I plan on having a reef tank with sps and lps and after a lot of research decided that an anemone would not be a good addition to the tank. However, I'd like for the clownfish to have the opportunity to host something. I'd be looking at getting a pair of immature tank raised ones.

Thanks

Try hairy shrooms.

They will hst in just about anything. From hair algae, to anemones, to feather duster worms, and my favorite: tube anemones (happened to me). It all depends on the fish and what it wants.

I've had a pair of tank-bred occelaris in my 180 for 6 months and they would not host in anything. Zenia, torch, hairy, toadstool...nuthin.

Then I put them in their own tank with their natural anemone (heteractis magnifica) and BAM they were in there within 5 minutes. I was amazed.

Here's a link to my cam if you'd like to see them:
