I have a 120. My lighting is 4 110 watt Vho and a 175 mh.
I have a pair of Black & White clowns Is there an Anemone that will work in my tank that will host the clowns as well?

Ever try putting pictures up to the side of the tank? People have reported success with putting pictures of big scary fish on their tank walls and with putting pictures of other clowns hosting anemones on their tank walls.
Could be worth a try...

there are 3 natural hosts for ocellaris clowns. Unfortunately 2 of them are very difficult to keep (or get a good one), and the 3rd is rarely imported (gets huge). Those anemones are
H.magnifica. (difficult)
S.gigantea (difficult)
S. mertensi (rare)
Having said that, clowns dont need their "natural host" I have paired many clowns with un-natural hosts.
I think the most striking pair (trio) is some black ocellaris in a really nice rose anemone (AKA RBTA) AKA E.quadricolor

Anyone have pics of the anemones that have been suggested? Stories of ease or difficulty? I would love to learn from others mistakes/successes!
