|  Re: Ocellararis needs an anemone
i think with the oscellaris it just depends on the fish. i know one that hosts in a featherduster and i have one that hosts in a hairy mushroom. but others just refuse to go to anything. just my opinion

|  Clown vs clown
My tank-raised perculas would not go near my BTA until I introduced a wild-caught one that seemed to show them how. They fought constantly so I moved the wild-caught percula, and the tank-raised clowns took up housekeeping in the BTA. Tried a green carpet but it only lasted 6 mo. cause it would not eat, nor would the clowns go near it. :mad: (I know it wasn't likely anyway, I just like carpets.) _________ Glass 90 and 110, skimmer in both 30 gal. sumps, 1150 GPH, plus a 75 gal fuge!! Yellow tang, several damsels, 2 lg flower anems, brown & rose BTA's (8" dia.) with 3 perculas, 5 ricordia, dozens shrooms, dozens of yellow, brown and green polyps, lots of snails, hermits, bugs and 3 inch worms. Mangroves, caulerpa, LR, LS, pics coming  | |

As far as clownfish/anemone compatibility goes, my LFS has this handy table that may help when choosing an anemone to match your clown: http://www.marinescene.com/FAQ/faq_anemones.shtm
Hope that helps a bit. You are gonna have to check the light requirements for each anemone before you buy, as I am pretty sure they have strict lighting requirements.

hmm well...i agree with amcraigg, even my wild caught trues (sorry! i was ignorant back then!) percs didnt take the anemone untill they both were in together (first one didnt take to it, the second did)...but hey its always worth a shot! its not like the anemone will die if the clowns dont take to it.
