Long tentacle and clownfish?

[Drewbaby]

I have a LTA and was wondering what my chances are to get a clown to host in it?

I know that some people have had sucess with Clarkii's, skunk clowns, and chrysogasters. Are there any others that willingly host to LTA's?

I would like to stay away from the chrysogasters mainly because of the dent they would put in wallet lol.

I've seen pics of ocellaris and/or perculas hosting in LTAs. Lots of people have these same species of fish hosting in BTAs, and those aren't their natural host either. I've got a LTA in one tank with a pair of picassos and a BTA in another tank with a pair of snowflakes and neither pair has settled into their respective anemones yet. It's pretty much a gamble as to whether your fish will host or not, even if it is their "native" host of choice.

Heres my A. percula in my LTA. It took her 8months in the tank to find a host. And another 2 months of hosting the featherdusters before she found the anemone that had been in the tank for 6 months with her.

Clown in Nem (yes the LTA is in the rockwork)

Clown in Featherduster

Edit--> She chose the Long Tentacle over a Haddoni that was also in the tank at that time.

Thanks guys. I wasnt sure If there was a clown that would host in an LTA and at one point I was willing to trade for a diff. anemone, but I like the LT.

ive seen perculas, false perculas, skunk, clarkiis, tomatoes, and maroones hosting LTA, it depends on the clown.
