BTA and Tomato Clown

[dacia]

I have had the clown for over a year. I plan on adding the BTA around Christmas. What are the chances that the anemone will host the clown?
Will the BTA do anything to the other fish in the tank? (2 south seas devil damsels)
Thanks ahead of time. I am new to keeping anemones.

eat them. anemones sometimes eat fish

Hmmm. Maybe if he eats them I can get a different fish for the tank since I don't think Tom likes those blue creeps. :happy:

eating them is the best thing that could happen to damsels.

bta's are probably the easiest anenome to keep. Please buy an aquacultured one though. They are becoming fairly common. Your clownfish should host in it. Mine always have. Mine has produced 3 clones over the past 2 1/2 years and they now reside in other peoples tanks Of course, proper feeding, a mature tank and adequate lighting are essential to their well being.

Forgot - no a bta won't eat your other fish.
