I ask a while back which was the best? My replies were a LTA or a BTA

I also got 4 false percula a couple days ago and they are in QT with ICK.
If it weren't for bad luck I would't have any luck.

It's a 50/50 chance that any anemone will host any clown. But I think a long tentacle or bubble tip would be your best bet. Your clown might dive right in or it might take a few weeks or it might not happen at all. It's up to the clown. Your tank must be established for at least 6 to 8 months before adding a anemone. just my .02

It's possible for them to host an anemone fairly quickly. I just got my rose bubble tip today and my female gold striped maroon is in absolute fishy heaven in it. She took to it within minutes and the male is jealous because she won't let him in. It's definitely worth a try. It's a really cool relationship between fish and anemone. Good luck!

A M.doreensis ( LTA)is not a natural host for occelaris (false percs) but that doesnt mean that they wont accept it as a host. Same with a BTA. BTA's (E.quadricolor) are much more forgiving, and are usually a better choice for a beginner anemone.
( BTAs are a natural host for maroons, and maroons always seem to dive right it)
