Perculas and the right anemone?

[hgreagan]

I plan on getting 2 baby perculas soon, and i had a couple of questions.

I have heard that if you get 2 baby perc and an anemone, then one will become a male and the other female. Is this true?

What is the best anemone to host the percs. i have heard that the Ritteri (Heteractis Magnifica) was the best. They seem to be pretty rare down here. Any other information about them or another hosting anemone would be greatly apprecciated.

They will become male and female, with or with out an anemone.

Ritteri, may be the best, but they are also one of the harder anemones to keep.

Back when I had a pair of percs, they had a BTA. But to be honest, you can't really predict which anemone they will or will not go into.

One thing that I will EMPHASIZE is that the H. Magnifica is the HARDEST Anemone to keep. Even if you have been around the hobby for a long time its the luck of the draw with what clowns will hosts which anemones. I had a Seabay Anemone that my clowns wouldn't host, but a couple months later I added a RBTA and they imediatly started making sweet love to it........ Everyone has different Afrodisiacs

Good Luck
