Maroon clown and bubble tip

[nate1414]

Do maroon clown fish host a bubble tip anemone????

Yes, in fact a BTA is its natural host.

There is one thing to note, maroons are hard on anemones, suggest making sure that the BTA is at least 3 times bigger then the clown.

Mine loves his GBTA but like stated above he is pretty hard on it.

I'm curious about Toddrtrex's comment as well. I haven't personally had a problem with maroon clowns and smaller bubble tip anemones. Anything can happen though.

They just end up "loving" it to death. It happened to me with a BTA clone that wasn't big enough for my pair.

And many years ago my Clarkii pair did the same thing to a Condy.
