fake anemone for clown?

if it doesn't host the fake anemone, then I might get a hairy mushroom

 

When I had my clown (put up for adoption due to aggressiveness) it hosted a magfloat. I don't see why you should have issue

 

my maroon clowny is hosting the back of my Emperor 400 HOB filter

 

Hairy Mushrooms don't like to be host to clowns...my clown tried it and it shrunk up and stayed that way till it left it alone. So maybe another kind like a toadstool would be better...just don't have a nice soft patch of GHA like Kcbrad or you may find them hosting that LOL.

 

Of the two, which is the most likely for the clown to host? I know it might not host either one. I was thinking the first one, because it looks like a carpet anemone (the natural host for my clown) what does everyone else think?

 

why not get like frog spawn

 

Honestly, if they're 8 bucks apiece, I would get both. If it doesn't host to one, you have the other, and don't have to pay for the extra shipping.

 

yep. thats what i would do if youre not in a money crunch.

 

I want to try to stay away from corals.

I can only afford 1.

 

Is your clown a "tank-bred" or a live-caught? If it is tank-bred then it does not need to host an anemone to be healthy. Tank-bred, which means born and inhabited in a fish tank, clowns do not even know what anemones really are, but will most likely host one if you have it..
