Need BTA/Clown care tips

[cody6766]

I did a quick search and found nothing. I'm sure it's out there, but it didn't come up for my couple of (quick) searches.

anyway, my LFS had a 2-banded clown pair that were hosting a small BTA. I was looking for an active fish or 2 for my 25g and the price was right for paired clowns and the nem they've claimed as theirs already. I took them home, acclimated them and all 3 look great now. The BTA is bigger and looks much better than it did under the lighting at the store and the clowns are just as active. They're eating well (small feedings, 2-3x a day), and doing what I assume is normal clownfish behavior.


so, the question...
What do I need to do to keep this up? I have a frozen omnivore food for the clowns, but what do I need to feed the nem? It's under 2x 24" strips of T5 lighting in a lower current area of the tank, BTW. Circulation is there, but it's slow and gentle.

Pics if they help.

Karen's Rose anemones, Wetwebmedia , anemone faq's at the of this forum, all have information. Although your anemone isn't a rose BTA, they are the same species and require the same conditions. You should read as much as you can and then come back here with specific questions.

As far as feeding the anemone, you can feed small pieces of silversides (1/4 inche long) every few days, squid, krill, scallops (that you can find fresh in the seafood dept. of the grocery store).
