What type of anemone for my saddlebacks

[R.W.]

i will be purchasing a pair for black saddleback anemone fish and i want to know what anemone to purchase for them as a natural host.

 

[WM15]

natural host would be sebae, long tentacle, and i think haddonis. mine hosts in a rose bubble tip anemone, after one day of the anemone being in the take he was in it so thats just my experience. now ill step aside and let the more experienced guys take over.

Mine chose a haddoni over a bubble tip. Ive, personally, only seen them in carpets or crispas. Make sure you find a decent sized anemone though. Saddlebacks in general are rough on anemones.

Older black saddles are psychopaths. They will dive into carpet anemone's mouth, bang their faces and eyes against various surfaces to achieve classic "pop-eye look", kill their spouses (males sometimes win the battle). They will also resist spawning regardless of what you do , produce weak larvae, etc, etc.

Brown variety are calmer sometimes. Get them a large BTA, BTAs are less susceptible to abuse from clowns.
