Here are the black percs again. You can see that they have yellow on the pectoral fins and a bit at the front of the mouth. One of them is about 3" long and the other is a little over 2", and both are fat & happy. They'll steal food from anybody. I've even seen them battle one of our 3 mantis shrimp for a piece of krill. The only inhabitant I have seen them share with is the rose BTA (before it split). I actually watched the larger perc put a piece of krill in the anemone's mouth! How's that for symbiotic?
Edit: The faint white lines you see across the fish in the second pic are scratches on the tank glass. Those were taken in our old 40gal. We've since upgraded to a 75gal tank.

Can any of you anemone experts give me some advice on what anemones to keep and which to avoid? I've never kept anemones, but since i'm setting up a new 180g tank, I figured I have the option to put anemones there first, so that if they move around they'll find a happy empty spot and settle down.
So which anemones should I look into that look good too? I plan to keep a few percula clowns so I'd love it if they hosted .

First you need the right lighting then wait at least 6 months for tank to mature. Then go from there.

No Euphoria, don't add it after the corals since they may take a while to find a happy spot. They cruise around your tank and will kill most corals they come in contact with. It took my anemone 6 months time, and 3 light upgrades before he finally found his happy place. If he moves now, I am doomed, but add him before your corals if you hafta get one.
