FLorida Condi Anemone

[thejiro]

I recently acquired a Florida Condi on my last trip home back to Key West.... IT is doing great BTW now that it is established in my tank...... My question is will my clowns host it??
I have seen pictures of it happening on this site??
thanks for the info

not common but it can happen....wouldn't hold my breath....i know a couple people on here have done it successfully but a condi is not hosted by clowns out in the wild and is very aggressive...

yea sad thing is that anemone caught one of my damsels

and it is now eaten but the only good thing to come of it was that that damsel was my most aggresive one and beat up on my other fish

I had a condi and nothing would host it. I think I read somewhere that the florida condi is in a completely different ocean/region than the clownfish species.
However, that may have been something I made up to tell the wife why Nemo didn't like his home..

Anyways, I have not heard or seen a clownfish host a florida condi. Keep us posted is you do.
