Git yer butts in a 'Nem!

Well it's been awhile. Clowns tried hosting the Toadstool for a bit, but thankfully they gave up. im thinking about getting them a natural host...but aren't those all very aggressive? I don't want to get a Nem that ends up eating my fish. I've read some real horror stories. What's the safest, least aggressive Nem these Clowns will accept?

I would look for a rittri anemone, they get big but not really fish eaters like carpets.

I was debating on a riterri, but I'm not sure I want half my 55g taken up by an anemone...

I've just accepted the fact that my oscii and my BTAs will never be one.

I showed them a video of clowns hosting a nem before. A few hours later they hosted. Not sure if it was the video or not, but you can try it.

I've had the same clowns since I first started in the hobby 4 or 5 years ago. The have lived thru a tank crash, ich, and stray voltage problem. Never had a nem for them so they never have seen one. I finally decided to put in a small GBTA and the male went after it immedietly. The female took about 2 days, but they went nuts and got very territorial with everyone else in the tank. It has been 4 months, swollen lips, discolorated spots, and constant loving on the nem, and right now, they kind of ignore it. The nem split so there is one for each now and they rub on them occassionally, but not like they did. Weirdos.
