Hi I just purchased a clown that was listed as a black perc at the lfs, but I knew it wasn't but didn't say anything because of the price listed next to the name. It looks almost exactly like the Black Saddleback Clown in the fish section of this site, but cost half as much. In the store it was laying in a green carpet anemone that was also under priced and I'm thinking about buying this weekend. My questions are:
1) How big does a carpet anemone get? I only have a 38 gallon.
2) What lighting do they need. I am running 4 T5 HO bulbs (sundial-Individually contoured reflectors). Is this enough?
3) What are other common hosts for these clowns?
4) My tank is only about 1 1/2 months along, is it too early to start thinking about an anemone? I wanted to get it soon so that it could hopefully move around and find its spot before I add corals.
Tomorrow when my 10K's turn on I will try to get a pic of him so that I can verify that it is indeed the type of clown I think it is.
