    anemone and fish compatibles

    My yellow tang and my maroon clown are buddies and the tang has been touched by the seven rose BT anemones many times when they are hanging out. Don't think your BTA is killing your fish.

    HELP with Bubble Tip Anemone

    I have four ginormous BTA's and the one host clown keeps them spotless. Other clown fish, that I've had and given gave away, also did this.
