Thanks Dennis. They are eating well and seem to have settled in nicely.
I guess I am now looking for an anemone for them.

Cool.
Where are they from, originally? Are they a Pacific fish?
Any idea on where they were caught?
Obviously, I dunno much about them.

What kind of anemone do they naturally host in?

They come form the Maldives. They are notoriously bad shippers so you don't see them in the trade as much as the other clowns. Once acclimated they are as hardy as the rest.
They can also be a bit reclusive.

They are not that expensive and pretty easy once they make the transition to tank life.

This pair has been with B for about 10 days and eating frozen so they should be good to go.

Dennis
Their host anemone is Heteractis magnifica. I have not been successful at keeping H. magnifica so I may try some other type. Maybe H. crispa.

Thanks Armando
My picture skills are lacking but I do like the clowns. Not nearly as aggressive, so far, as the Black ocerallis that I had.

 

[Armando]

Picture skills seem fine from what I see. Not sure about the math skills though

Please post picture updates when you get a host for them.
