New Carpet anemone

[pbienkiewi]

I got my green carpet anemone today. I aclimated him slowly. He is doing great. I watched my Pecula Clown eyeing him. After 10 min he was molesting the anemone. It was the funniest thing ever. My two tomatos are eyeing it also... We will see who the new home oner will be..

First of all, congrats on the new anemone.
Next.....you have tomatos and perculas in the same tank?!?!?!? :scared: You are just asking for a war over territory....and your percula will loose against a pair of tomatos.
Not a good idea at all to keep more than one species of clown in the same tank (under 200 gal). A fight will inevitably happen, and they don't fight nice.

it's been 5 months now with them. No tail nipping. Just chasing... not a mark on the percula at all. I have enough rock work for territory

How old are the clowns? If you got them as juveniles 5 months ago, they probably not fully mature yet and will only get more and more territorial. I may be wrong and you may have one of the few excepetions to this, but for the most part it does happen. Just a heads up.
