Anemones and Sea Horses

[rykna]

Does anyone have any exprience with housing sea horses with anemones??? I have read that anemones are bad tank mates for seahorses because the sea horses try to anchor themselves on the tentacles. Just looking for some input- thanks.

Definately not putting them together is the best bet.

Gotcha.....so now I have a pair of false percs.....what can I substitute for a host that won't hurt the seahorse??????
Gonipora daisy flower pot????? That's what my last percs were hosting. Ofcourse you can never tell what a clown will host. I've seen everything from a leather cabbage to a plate coral. What would be possible hosts in a seahorse tank???? :thinking:

Mine host large F.D.'s too.

Rykna, if the clowns start hosting the duster you might want to get more than one. When I only had one the clowns stressed the poor thing till it died. Now I have dusters spread out all over my tank.

Feather duster or large leather coral is your best bet. Ginopora's as a home for clowns is a bad idea. Clowns irritate the gino and can kill it.

Awesome!
Thanks....I think I'll go with the large leather. :happyfish
