Clown Fish? Anemone?

[jjgomillion]

What is this about hosting? What does that meas. I know that the Clownfish generally hangs out on the anemone, but is that it? Also, what kinds are good together. Does the anemone need ANYTHING special (lights, food, etc...) And one other thing, will more than one clownfish host the same anemone?
Just curious!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!!!

Yes most anemones need a lot of lighting and good water quality. A lot of people won't suggest having one.

Yes, when a clownfish hangs out in an anemone it is considered hosting. Anemones do need intense lighting, excellent water conditions and the right tank envirorment, In my opinion they are better left on the reef, these creatures are very fragile and many times will die in captivity.
