Anemones

[Tangster]

i just ordered a colored condy anemone online for super cheap. the website i ordered from said they were reef safe and my clarkii clowns would host it. apparently though after checking other sites and researching i realized it isn't so safe. now i am really worried for my clowns, because these anemones are known for snaching fish. i moved all of my coral out of the tank to prepare for the arrive of the anemone. i did this so if it moves around i won't lose all my coral. can you guys give me some advice or tell me any personal experience you have had with these. this was horrible planning on my part. the main question is, will the clowns host it and will they survive. they are pretty big clowns, but i am yet to see the size of the anemone.

Anything is possible but no they aren't a natural host and sometimes they will eat clowns. I wouldn't try it

If you had gotten a RBTA it too would move around your tank from time to time. I saw a clown hosting a condy at a lfs so it's possible for them to get along.

Check out malu anemone, my clowns hosted it in 2 days
And it is also not a natural host, they also stay in the sand

If I could cancel the order I would, but I guess I'll have to see how it turns out. I have an led strip that supplies light for my zoos and mushroom, it's not as strong so it's a good light for them. I also have 2, 50 watt par LEDs that can be directed, so I will aim them at one location and the anemone with be more likely to stay in that spot. This might help stop it from moving.
