What anemone for my black and white clowns. They are wild caught mated pair?

 

[illcssd]

What kind of black and white clowns? If wild caught probably black clarkii, but can't tell you until you say a species or post a pic.

Don't remember the exact species. I believe they might be False Ocellaris?? not sure. They have a orange face.

Where are you located?

Central Florida.

I assume it's a black oscellaris.

Does anyone have a idea what kind of anemone or not?
I don't see the relevance of wher I am located.

E. quadricolor, Bubble Tipped Anemone, aka BTA.

Geography makes a difference with clowns due to availability, if you were in Australia, you might have Wild Caught Black Ocellaris, but not likely in your stated location.

Based your description, you have Captive Bred Black A. ocellaris. Most likey bred by ORA. Nice fish, there are pictures of my pair in my gallery.

Good luck with yours.

As for the question a nice Rose or True Rose BTA and the black/white contrast beautifully.

i know its not the native host but my expierence with WC black/white oc's they will host anything.

I stated wild caught because that is what I was told when I bought them. Have to rely on the LFS since I didn't catch them myself. I only paid $65 for the pair. Thanks for the reply.

I asked for your location for the reason scott stated. Your clowns are almost positivly not a wild pair and i was just curious.
My pair of black ocellaris host a rose and and green bubble tip anemone, that is what i would try if i was you.
