Maroons and anemones

[Allanira]

I have 2 maroon clowns. I want to get an anemone in Sept. when my tank is more mature. What anemone do they host? Hopefully a RBTA. I love the looks of that one lol. Thank you in advance for advise

They will host with a RBTA mine did.

Natural counterpart is BTA/RBTA but Maroons are pretty fearless and will take to just about any anemone they can get to. Mine hosted a BTA in my 90 and an LTA in my 180.

That's one pos thing about them, they pretty much dive right in.

Maroons dont host anything. Infact, no clowns host.

The nems host the clowns. But anywho....BTA is a natural nem for maroons and is one of the easier nems to keep.

First night in my tank. Everyone things im nuts when i say, CONFINE THE CLOWNFISH, THEY WILL HOST.

With maroons, there is no need to confine the fish to get them to go to a BTA. They are attracted to them like a magnet, even tank bred fish go to them within hours, or at least that's been my experience. dalil, are those bleached BTA's? I can't really tell from the pic.

Yeah maroons are the easiest to host. But make sure you get a big enough anemone for them. They are brutal and can really stress out smaller anemones.
