What do I need to do?

[insure-u]

I got this anemone today at my LFS. They had it labeled as a Condy but I think it's a bubble tip of some sort. Either way it was $8. Anyway I have a Maroon clown and want to know what, if anything I need to do to get these to together. Will my Maroon host this anemone and if so what needs to be done by me??

Certainly looks like a BTA to me. Could take a while for your Maroon to host in it, or it could happen fairly quickly. Don't think there's much you can do except be patient and hope for the best. If I recall correctly, it took almost a month for my Maroon to swim into the BTA I introduced. I remember reading that someone had success by putting a plastic veggie clip in the shape & color of a clownfish near the anemone. I couldn't find such a veggie clip until after the clown had already made the anemone its home.

Well thanks for the advice but..... I think I have instant success! My Maroon is swimming through and through the anemone over and over again. So I think he has found his home! I hope he stays there.
