Ocellaris Clowns host options?

[supersurfer12]

What can I get for my Ocellaris to host in what is a natural host for them?

A natural host would be the magnifica in your avatar there. Also a gigantea and a mertensii are a natural host for an ocellaris.

Not a natural host but mine are hosting my Sebae, it was in my tank for about 3 months and yesturday I was watching them and they finnally found it and have not left since. Pretty fun to watch.

Besides having ocellaris in their natural host, I have had them in LTA's, crispa, and haddoni. Their natural hosts are either the two hardest anemones to keep or one of the most seldom imported.

If I were you, I would go with a BTA. It's not their natural host, but it's much easier to care for. Once a clown fish moves into an anemone, I don't think they care if it's their natural host or not.

They're not all that hard to keep in comparison to some other host species. I wouldn't consider them easy though. They're not a natural host to ocellaris either.
