No luck w/ ID of Fred and Wilma

[FLKeysGirl]

Think I've looked at every thread and I still can't ID my clowns my son has named Fred and Wilma. I beleive they are True Perculas, A. Ocellaris but when my husband purchased them as a gift (our first non damsel addition), they sold them to him as Black Edged Perculas - Um never heard of 'em!
I can't count the dorsal fins because they don't stay still long enough for a good picture. :headwalls:I really would like to get them an anemone to host, but I don't have a whole lot of expirience with anemones. In my last reef many years ago my clown pair hosted an elegance coral for 3 years!
So here is a video I took of them.
Can you help ID and suggest a semi easy anemone?

They are a darker occelaris, not percula.

Yes it is a Oscallaris.

I think they come from C-quest. Congratulations it is a really nice couple of clowns you have there ;=)

Bubble tip anemone/E. quadricolor

I agree, nice Ocellaris clowns.
If you've never kept anemones before, I would suggest a Bubble Tip Anemone (BTA) - though not a "natural" host for clownfish in the wild, they usually figure it out in captivity. Find a nice Rose if you can

yep Ocellaris....the local Petco's and Petland's in my area sell them as "Fancy Flase Perculas" or "Fancy Ocellaris"....either way, nice looking pair

I second the recommendation for a BTA...fairly easy nem to keep :thumbsup:

Awesome thanks everyone! Off to research BTAs I go!

This is probably just a typo, but BTA is a natural clownfish host anemone. It's just not a natural host to ocellaris.

Yes, thanks for the correction EC - that's what I meant to say

Note to self - wait until second cup of coffee before posting.......:spin1:

Nice looking pair of clowns Chari!

Thank you! They're starting to exhibit some odd behavior so I guess I better start researching breeding clowns lol right after I get them a BTA!

Trying to host a single blue mushroom I added a few days ago?

Nope we don't really have that big a selection her in EU. We basecally only have WC fish over here. When I see all the nice sites you guys have, I envy you just a bit ;=)
Hope the clowns are doing fine

Nice Clowns! Nice names! I have a mated pair of Clarkis, that my son dubbed Romeo and Juliet..... I have to say they are so fun to watch and my Niger Trigger is hilarious too.

They def have personalities! I just got a rbta over the weekend for them, tying to learn what I can since I don't know much about nems. Hope they host it!
