Going to try to 'teach' my tank raised percs to host in an anemone. Figure it can't hurt, so does anyone have any decent pics of a perc hosting? Thanks a lot

You can't place an anemone where you want. They move till they find where they are happy. Obviously he is happy where he is. Moving him will stress him, but if not done carefully can actually kill him. If you decide you have to move him, be very careful not to tear his foot. If it tears, it almost always spells doom.
