Hello,
I have a 24g Nano with a clown fish. I hear many of Anemones get really big. Is there one that would be good for a clown fish and not to big for my tank?
thanks,

Welcome Turbostud653! Clownfish do not need an anemone. Most anemones need strong light. I have had good luck with Rock Flower anemones in nanos under PC lighting but clowns do not host in them. I have had clowns host in many corals such as Hammer, Frogspawn, Toadstool & Lobophytum leathers, Green Star Polyps, Pom Pom Xenia and others. All of those do well in a nano.

I've been able to keep bubble tip anemones in my 24 jbj with pc lighting. They have grown a ton and even spit. Granted as anemones they do wonder from time to time, but that comes with the territory. And of course my maroon LOVES them. He hosts all of them. ------------- "What we know from this hobby is too hard to share with the people who just want to look and not get wet." -Rioreefer "The Puffer Girl" Zoo freak :) West Jordan |
