Best anemone for small tank w/maroons

woolfe · 02-25-2007, 04:42 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm planning on buying a pair of maroon clowns. They will have the tank to themselves. I bought them a 30 gal cube that is cycling right now. I'm looking for something that really stands out but that the maroons will also enjoy. The only other things I plan on adding to the tank is some snails, a shrimp, and maybe a few corals for color once the anemone gets himself all nice and comfy. Any suggestions?

I recommend a green or red/rose bubble tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor).

Make sure the anemone is atleast 3x the size of the clowns. Clowns can be very rough; rough enough to kill it. The larger the anemone, the more abuse it can take.

A rose BTA would look nice with the maroons. I like the idea.

Thank you. I think I'll go with that.

It won't get too big for the tank will it?
