Eel and Pink tip anenome, problem?

Marinoman08 · 02-25-2008, 12:32 PM

I Got a snow Flake Eel bout 6-8 inches long and Tomato clown in a 55 gallon tank. I was thinking about putting a Pink Tip anemone in there to give company to my clown. Will eel and anenome fight or have problems?

Pink Tip anemones are usually Condi's. They eat fish. In less than a year, your eel will be 2 feet in length and will probably eat the clown.

The anemone and eel will most likely leave each other alone though.

Avoid Condys for exactly the reasons above.
Your clown will me more than happy hosting in most any soft coral.
