This was how I got some tank bred Oscellaris Clowns to host a green bubble tip anemone in two days.
"Green Bubble Tip Anemone" in the bag from the store. Doesn't look nearly as good as ones i've seen online :worried: i think it may have been bleached and its been on a wild ride since i bought it but looks great today! will include link to post specifically about this wierd anemone
I bought the clowns the same day so it was easy to accomplish this next task. I simply put the clowns and the anemone in the breeder box together! I made sure to open the box frequently to do big "water changes" even though the box did have slits in it. I then would take the box and submerge it and hold it down with a piece of love rock. I made sure to feed the box with flakes and brine shrimp each once per day.
On the second night in the box i noticed the clowns were bedding down and sleeping in the anemone!!!! :beer: I was stocked to say the least and let them all out the following morning. The anemone skipped around for a few days but the clowns just followed it. Until the anemone finally found its spot. (click it its a video)
Unfortunately one of the clowns was bullied by a damsel and passed. I since removed the damsel. Some black oscellaris clowns took the orange ones anemone and are bedding down for the night.
Here is the anemone today. Not sure how but one of the black oscellaris clowns has gone missing along with a firefish goby. I think a haitian condy anemone may be to blame. Or maybe the orange clown paid the fire shrimp to eat it! IDK but its gone and now these two seem to be in harmony.
Thanks for reading, should i get another black clown and another orange one? or let these two be? i have a 125gal 6ft long with various anemones throughout
