Haitian Reef Anemone?

[Grandreef 2]

I was woundering if I could keep a Haitian Reef Anemone with a True Percula Clownfish? Do these anemones move around a lot? How big do they get? Can I keep it under 4 65w CF?

They aren't natural hosting anemones. So 3 things could happen, the clown will ignore it, the clown will be hosted by it, or the clown will be eaten by it.

I personally haven't had issues with any anemone moving around a lot (( excluding new clones )), so if you provided the conditions the anemone requires it shouldn't move. Those anemones can get fairly large. As for your lights, what size tank, and are they daylight bulbs, actinic, 50/50....

I have a 55 gallon tank and my lights are 50/50. Do you know how big they grow? Will they really eat the clownfish?

They can grow to be about 6 inches acroos.However there have been some cases where they have gotten to be about 9 inches across.And yes they really can eat the clownfish.Im lucky I have a Hiatian hosting a Tomato!

A nem eating a clown is not a fun sight, i saw a pic once when half the clown was in the mouth and the head was sticking out looking helpless! Very sad indeed!
