Fantastic pictures!!
Just a note. I was reading in my new reef book the other night that somany of the clowns are tank raised now that they have had no natural contact with anemones, so done know why/how/what to do with them. It is even a possiblity that generations of tank raised clowns may not be able to form that symbiotic relationship.
I have a BTA with a tomato and he jumped on it as soon as it was in the tank-the BTA has remained stable since I put it in.

That is a good point. However, don't wild animals of all kinds have "instinct" as to what they are suppose to do?
Heck I don't know I am no expert. I did contact my breeder and she said they should take to it no problem. I sure hope so as I want so bad to see them in this BTA. I know it is suppose to be good for the BTA as well. My breeder did have little tiny "fake" anemones in the tank with all the babies. But they were all so small I don't think they new what they were.

Good for you
Just joking. I am thinking of hanging another picture on the other side of the tank. Mine aren't going near it anymore for some reason.

BTA anemones accept the most variety of clown fish, also it's a supply and demand thing. If there are patches of BTA's which breed much quicker than most any other hosting type anemone then believe me a mom and pop setting up shop will soon come by and make a home.
But who wouldn't love the expanse of the Carpet anemone, it just depends on thier level of income.

Bubbles are smaller, cheaper, more available and easier to care for which makes them more popular. They also host a wider variety of clowns than most of the others.
That is why I bought a bubble, then a tomatoe or is it tomato? because the BTA is his FIRST choice!
You have to admist the whole picture thing is pretty entertaining. I cant wait to go back to my LFS and tell them about it.
You seem like such a nice person-I am sure your clowns will not disappoint you!
