true perc's/anemone compatability

[Gene Ritter Jr]

I would like to make a go with a pair of true percula's and want to get the right anemone for them to host. I have heard Ritteri is the best with second being Sebae. With Ritteri being so difficult to keep and they get so huge, was thinking Sebae. Should a couple youth True Perc's take to a Sebae????? I appreciate all help with respect to the compatibility issue concerning true perc's.

Thanks,

Gene

What size tank do you have and what type of lighting? I have a ritteri that does very well in my 110. They are one of the larger anemones but as far as all the hype about being hard to keep, mine has been a great citizen. They like lots of light (MH's seem to be best) and lots of flow. I feed mine a silverside once a week or so. It has a false perc hosting in it. I got the clown after the ritteri was already established in the tank and it went straight for the anemone after discovering it. If you maintain your tank well and provide the right conditions ritteri's are great to have.

I have a 90 gallon community reef and am in the process of upgrading with dual 400Watt metal halides in addition to 265Watt worth of Power compacts. What I've heard about Ritteri's is that they grow huge and are very aggressive toward many other tankmates such as corals and obviously other fish. I also heard that they will generally only survive in a home aquarium with sand instead of crushed coral. I was also hoping that I would get a little advise on how best to get a mated pair as they are hard to come by. I was thinking of getting 2 young ones and hoping they pair up.
