clownfish with what

[haberman]

I am getting two clownfish, a black and white false perc and a orange and white one. I have a 30g tank, with perfect parameters for half a year. I want to try to get them to host something, preferably an anemone, like a bulb or a bubble tip but if that won't work very well, would a torch, hammer, or frogspawn be better. Also, is there a difference on Saltwaterfish.com's bulb anemone and the bubble tip anemone? Will they host either one?

my ocellaris hosted an LTA after a year
my B&W ocellaris pair hosted a BTA after 3 days
its all up to the fish
just make sure your lighting can support a 'nem' and you'll have to let the clowns do the rest

Just puttin this out there, I was told you cant have a black and white and orange and white clown together in the same tank. A few people told me they would fight till the death. I was told this about 3 to 4 weeks ago.

What type of lighting do you have? A bulb anemone is different than a bubble tip anemone. Hosting is never a guarantee in an anemone or a coral.

Two ocellaris clowns of different colors will work together, IME. Two different species of clowns is where the trouble begins.

I have a blue 70 watt coral bulb

You don't have enough lighting for an anemone to survive. Anemones receive 90% of their food from the lights. You will need 4 to 5 watts per gallon to keep an anemone.

I agree you don't have enough light for an anemone.
