False percs and anemones

AJinNY · 01-08-2005, 02:21 PM

Can someone tell me which anemones are the easier ones to care for and which my false percs will take to and roll around in? Pics will be appreciated.

I have (had?) a rose bubble tip and the percs never hung out with him.

Thanks.

Alan

the host rate for false purculas isn't good. I think most have success with carpents, but that are one of the more demanding to keep.

Clarkiis host is almost anything and tomatos and marron clowns take to a host easily too.

I tried my Purculas a couple time with a LTA and BTA with no luck. SO I finally just gave up tring.

It can work though. LEt us know if you find the winning formula

I have had my ocellaris clowns for well over 5 yrs and the RBTA's for almost one year. It took the clowns 3-4 months to notice them. I think they finally went to one when I added a new fish.... now they will not leave them. Here are a few pics:

Our two tank-raised True Percs were getting friendly with our green star polyp until we introduced a RBTA. Within minutes they set up housekeeping.

Im trying to breed these two and there paired off since the store purchase. I set them up in a 29 gal. tank with there lta that they love and I hate. I put two rbta's in there with them and just the male go's to the one when he's in the dog house.

I had a yellow striped maroon once that wouldn't go to the anemone but like woodstock, once I put a mate in the tank they both went to the rbta's. Give it time with yours and it will happen i'm sure. Great picture everyone!
