razz · 10-29-2006, 01:30 AM

i have what i believe is a green carpet anemone..it came with a skunk clown in it that died when my tank overheated due to new lights and cause a terrible ick outbreak..
would like a picture or two of my options since my pet store cant get any skunk clowns in

percula, false percs, sebae, tomato,,,etc. find a pair you like and try them out. get small ones if possible.

Ditto.... get a pair of tank raised clowns, babies.... check you local reef club, local fish store, etc.... they may not take to the anemone right away but be patient, they will.

how big is the anemone? before they are like, i think 6-8" you should just leave them be without clowns, if i remember correctly from my research last month.

would you care to elaberate a little more ,ive never heard anything like this before.
mine is about 6 inches in morning and 8 during the day but the main reason i wanted one is for the relation ship with clown fish,why would it be best with-out a clown>? i dont think this will be an option for me unless one would be harmed in the relationship so let us know,..thanx

ok let me re-state... if they are under 6" it is better to leave them without clowns until they get bigger. i've seen them for sale as small as 2-3"... and those will likely be killed by the clown. just under a certain size, the clowns can be too rough, but once they get big enough you're fine. i think 6-8" won't be a problem for hosting.
