new anemone questions

[aliciajoshltjt]

so I already have a pair of true percs(had them since babies) hosting in an LTA but a local reefer is trading me his 8-12inch Green Carpet. I figure if something happens between the two I could always trade it into a lfs for another lta or something. Would I be able to try the two in my 75 or should I just trade and take it straight to the store for a trade to get another LTA? Only fish in the tank are the pair of true percs, a chromis from the tank cycle 9 months ago, six line wrasse, lawnmower blenny, and a chocolate tang in the juvenile half black tang.

could i potentially put in a pair of pink skunks into the 75 if the percs are still quite young and not aggressive. Figuring the skunks host in the carpet they may be ok . . .

I personally wouldn't put two pairs of clowns in a 75, odds are when one pair starts spawning, the other pair will be harassed -- perhaps to the point of death. While pink skunks are more docile, I know that my pair won't chase after other fish, but surely doesn't like anyone near their anemone. I am sure that they will be more aggressive once they start spawning.

As for mixing an LTA with a Haddoni ( I am assuming that is what the green carpet is ), I tried it in the past, and neither anemone seemed happy. Both started moving around a lot when I had them both together. Once I moved the LTA to another take the Haddoni stopped moving, as did the LTA in the other tank.
