Manderin and a anemone

[scott058]

Has anyone kept a clown, anemone, and a manderine in the same tank with success?

 

[mobert]

I have two Mandarins, lots of clowns and lots of anemones.

No problems in my tank.

 

[a4twenty]

should be ok but there are no guarantees with anemones, what species are you thinking of??

 

[scott058]

I had a RBTA years ago. Was thinking about getting another one for my clown but did not want to put my manderine in any danger.

I also have both in my tank and everything is fine. Just make sure you don't have a carpet and Mandarin together as carpet are agressive

 

[alphaferret]

yes

 

[dragonette]

I have two mandarins and a maroon clown with a LTA.. no problems.

 

[Theomi]

I have a big Bta, Two maroon clowns and a fat and happy manderin..
No problem, the manderin never goes near the nem

Same, same. BTA hosting a Maroon pair and a chubby mandarin. He does tool around close the the nem from time to time, but never close enough to endanger himself.

I have magnifica, two perc's and a fat happy mandarin. So far so good.

 

[sml41]

no problems

 

[jvr1102]

I have a rose anemone, perc clown and had a mandarin until my anemone got hungry

 

[ahayes13]

[Haddonisreef]

My haddoni ate my fat and happy Mandarin!

 

[LPDK91]

[jubjub]

......shrug i lost my mandarin to my nem..... woke up one day found half the mandarin sticking out of the mouth of the nem.......

oh well..thats nature for you.....but i've lost 3 fish to that nem now...although it is about 15" wide

I'm going to bump this thread because I was doing some searching before I posted my own thread of the same nature.

What are the best types of anenome to keep that are least likely to eat my Mandarin for lunch?

 

[MarineFlake]

I have 3 BTA's, spotted Mandarin, yellow watchman, red-head goby and 2 perc (Orange) and 1 oc (black) clown(s). I did have a black clown goby disappear but I don't think that dude ever acclimated, prolly ended up crab chowder. Tank is 135g, so, they all have their choice of where to hang out, but, I would think the gobys would avoid instant death via animal instinct. GL!

Haddoni carpet and possible LTA are the only two host anemones that may be a danger to Mandarin. The other host anemones are fine.

I'd add gigantea to the above ^
