easiest Anenome or Coral that Clown will host

[thomas975]

What is the easiest Coral to take care of that a Clown will host to that anyone has experienced? I have a nano tank but plan to purchase a bigger one so I can get a clown and anenome. I am probably going to get a False Perc. Thanks

hello

well its really a 50/50 with any coral or anemone. some clowns wont even host anything at all. idk why. so its really to buy a frogspanw which are really nice and hope it gets there.

Clowns are interesting fish. They'll host just about anything in a tank from a powerhead to a algae clip to corals. You'll just have to hope your clown hosts an anemone.

i agree with the "they'll host anything" i have 2 percs in my 29 gallon, they chose to host the powerhead and i have Torch/Hammer/Frogspawn coral in their. They swim thru it once in a blue moon but still decide against hosting....I figured with 3 choices, and all 3 are BIG pieces they'd like 1 of them, but i was wrong
it is basically luck sadly to say, im planning on buying an anemone soon for them and HOPE they host that

I have a BTA and after about 6 months, my false percs are in love!!

My past truebpercs hosted my overflow box. My current black&whites host my flame zoas. A huge wall hammer is right next to zoa but they don't even see it. So it really depends on the clowns.

My perc LOVED the rics I had in the tank. And my gold-striped maroon loved the brain, but never took to the frogspawn. It's really a toss-up until you drop it in the tank and let it find out which it likes for itself.

I cheated and purchased my Macrodactyla doreensis because there were two very small Maroons already hosting it. :-D However, after about 3 days, the larger Maroon refused to allow the smaller Maroon to host. The smaller one disappeared soon after. The LTA and remaining Maroon get along very well.
