Those corals clown fish live in are called what again? Also what do you feed those things when put in tank and do they need alot of extra lighting.....
I have 2 clownfish that might want one of them things to hang out in!

Clownfish will accept substitute hosts that are a lot eaiser to care for then an anemone. Mine uses a frogspawn as its host. Others have had them use mushrooms and xenia.
You don't need an anenome. A clown will do just fine without any type of host at all.

My pair of perc clowns use my colt coral as a home.

will tank raised clowns host with anything? I have heard that they will not, or at least not as easily.

 

[ebeckels]

true...not as easily...i've seen tank raised clarki and tomato clowns enjoy sebae anemone's.

Do all of those need extra lighting?
How about flame scallops, do they need extra stuff or light?

I was interested in the pink skunks but this site said they need the host anemone to survive. Has anyone kept them alive without the anemone? I'd love to get a little school of them but if they don't do well without an anemone i'll got to a group of tank raised percs.
