questions about ocellaris clownfish and bubbletip anemones

[Reefkeeper 18]

Is it true that mated pairs of ocellaris clownfish will fight untill there is only one mated pair left? Also is it true that ocellaris clownfish will not host with a bubbletip anemone?

I would say that is true 99% of the time for all clownfish pairs.

It is true that an ocellaris clownfish will not host an BTA. However, it is possible (( and happens often )) that an BTA will host an ocellaris.

Haha... yeah, the anemone does the hosting

BTA is not a natural host for an ocellaris, but given enough time it often happens. My female took 3 months to associate with the BTA, then my male another 3 months before he wasn't just hanging around nearby.
