New to SW - thinking about getting a nem

[RyanG027]

Pretty new to the hobby..tank has been up for about 7 months.
I recently got a Domino clown, and I'm thinking about adding a host nem but I have a few questions.

1) Can I even keep a nem with my stock list below? I know triggers are bad with corals, but does include nems?

2) I am assuming certain clowns prefer certain nems...is this true? What would be good for a Domino?

I wouldn't put any inverts in that tank, just my opinion. I had a humu that was as mean as a rattlesnake. Especially with it being a somewhat smaller tank. But even with a larger tank you have some inhabitants that are not reef safe.

Triggers are very aggressive. I don't suggest putting a nem in that system.

In this hobby nothing is 100% guaranteed. There are people have nems with triggers with no problem.

Domino clown is just a designer species of ocellaris clownfish. So basically they are the same. Natural hosts are s. gigantea, s. mertensii and h. magnifica. They are among the most difficult nems to take care of.

Bubble tip and seabae anemones(crispa or malu) can be accepted as host most of the time. M. Doreensis sometimes works as a host. S. Haddoni carpet can work as a host but less likely.

Realized I wrote too much...

Thanks for the info! All great stuff.

My humu is still pretty small...about 3-4" at this point, but he's actually the least aggressive fish I own.
