Clown to anemone size relationship?

[peef]

So I am going to trade my huge nasty bully of a clarkii clown to my LFS for a one inch baby percula. Is it a problem that my nem is about 8 iches across when inflated? I just don't want to trade and get a cute new fish and then have it be a quick meal for my nem. Thanks for the advice.

It should be fine.

I hope so....Oh also....I know mated pairs of clown do great together but can I just get two clowns and have them share (hopefully) the same nem and become a mated pair? How does that work?

What kind of anemone is it and did the Clarki host in it and beat on it too much ?

 

[peef]

Not at all the nem is perfect and healthy! The clarkii just bullied everything else in the tank. It is a GBTA

Then a couple of juvi percs should be fine hosting, no guarantee they will host though, but if they do, the anemone will most likely except them. And the pair should mature into a mated pair in time.

IMO dont buy 2 percs from the same store as they are likely to be from the same breeder....

ive seen a clown about 1.5" long in a RBTA like 16" in diamater so i would say it dosent really matter
