Help clown gone crazy

[Crumpy]

Okay so I have just change over from a 10 gallon tank to a 20 long ..
Everything was doing great except my clown he killed my torch and now he's in the processes of killing my frogspawn ..
So I went to my local fishtank store and got an anemone .. I don't know what kind it was but I will post pictures.
I put it in my tank and everything closed up and the clown was not interested .. I put him and the anemone in a container together and he wanted nothing to do with it .. So I took the anemone back and pretty much took it in the butt for a 100 dollar anemone ...
So I want to try another anemone but I don't know what to get one store told me a bubble tip would be my best option, another one said a ritteri would be best .. The clownfish is a snowflake clown ... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated also might be adding a second clown to the thank maybe that might help out .. I don't know what kind yet tho

I have a few clowns and they went directly into rose bulb anemone in the matter of minutes. One of the clowns host a fuzzy mushroom as well. I think give it time. Don't bug the fish or try to force to host. Not the expert tho hopefully someone will chime in. I had a fish that liked corals to idk why but I got rid of that fish quick. He was a Cintron goby. Good luck crumpy

Thanks for the feed back ! That's what I keep thinking I'm going to but I just want to be sure .. And I'd hate to get rid of the clown since he was expensive .. but if he keeps it up he's going to get evicted

A snowflake is a designer Ocellaris clownfish. If you want the clownfish to have a host anemone and have the best chance of pairing, look up what the natural host for an Ocellaris is. A bubble tip is not a natural host. That's not to say that your snowflake won't jump right in, it might or it might not or it might in a few days or a few weeks or a few months.

A natural host is a 99.99% guarantee the snowflake will pick it as host.

Hey that's good info never heard of natural host. So after research on what vhuang said i pulled this for you.



Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish will readily accept a wide variety of host anemones and many hobbyists keep snowflake ocellaris clownfish with the popular and hardy Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). As a reference the natural host anemones of the regular ocellaris clownfish are Magnificent Sea Anemone (Heteractis magnifica), Giant Carpet Sea Anemone (Stichodactyla gigantean) and Merten's Carpet Sea Anemone (Stichodactyla mertensii).

Just want to throw in that the bubble tip is the only beginner level anemone on that list the rest are for advanced anemone keepers only. Plus most are the size of a 20gallon tank when they get older. So go for the bubble tip if you have good lighting. Make sure your tank is fully settled from the tank swap though that can cause a cycle.
