Clown and Condy

[aarone]

I have a Percula clown. I also have a Condylactus and a haitian pink tipped anenome. Has anyone had any luck with the percs accepting either of these as a proper host?

I've not had any luck, but have heard of a Common being hosted by a Pink Haitian Condy before, but I know that such an occurence is very rare. Also, if the Percula was Captive-Bred, then it will most likely never had come into contact with an anemone, and thus may not ever accept an anemone, but let's hope it will.

Or an Anemone Crab! They're fascinating creatures.

I agree with the above. I believe it is very rare to have a condy host a clown in an aquarium. So if you're looking for a host anemone they are not the best choice.HTH

I must be in the rare group, or should I say my clowns are. I had a clarkii, that went into and feed both the types you mentioned, as well as an unknown. The clarkii died, rather not get into that story, and got a sebea---same thing, loves all three. I believe both clowns were not tank raised, so as said that may be a factor. HTH
