BTA question

[reefNewbie]

I am planning on not getting the h. magnifica and decided to go with a E. quadricolor. question though. I have a pair of b+w percs, will they both be able to share the one anemone?

That, my dear, is ENTIRELY up the them.

as long as its large enough. otherwise they might destroy the anem. while trying to host in it. i have seen a pair the female was about 3" hosting in a 4" bubble, but it looked cramped and the anem dident look happy. try to find one at least as wide as both of the fish are long combined. so if the fish are a total length of 5" i would try to find one at least 6".

They MIGHT host in it. It's not a natural pairing, and sometimes clowns just won't go near a non natural host. I would definitely get the largest anemone you can find, if you do decide to buy one. Clowns can do a fair amount of damage to an acclimating anemone. My maroon clown ate the tentacles off of my rose anemone until I separated the two.

what other anemone would you recommend then?

anyone keeping a BTA with percs?

I just added a quad today. I have a pair of tank-raised true percs and they haven't taken to it yet....

I will keep you posted though
