Clown and Anemone question

[pokdbz]

After my tank has been cycled with LR and LS I am going to add 2 percula clowns. I also would like to add a Bubble Anemone. What is the best suggestion to add both fish and anemone?
Should I put the anemone in first and then put the clowns in right after?
Or can I put the clowns in first and then down the road put in the anemone and they will still interact with each other?
Also is there a specific anemone that clowns like?

Add the two clowns at the same time so they have a better chance of pairing up. I would wait on the anemone for awhile. The clowns don't need it and they are not the easiest things to keep. I would wait until you are sure everything is in good shape first. Do a search for clown or anemone compatibility as there are many charts which tell which clowns like which anemones. HTH. GL.

Don't add the anemone until your tank is well established like 5-6 months old. The older yuor tank the better for yuor anemone. The clowns will do fine without an anemone, so just wait a while and make sure your tank is ready for the anemone.

Clowns first.............anemone maybe 6monthes after cycle I would wait a year they are not hardy at all . NO need to keep buying and replacing DEAD anemones..Plus the clowns will thrive and spawn given the proper conditions with out the anemone.................
