I just added a small Ocellaris to my 65 reef. My intention is to add SPS coral so I’m a little concerned about adding an anenomie to my tank for fear of it moving.

1, Is there a host anenomie I can add to my small (65) tank that will stay where I put it or not bother the corals I want to add?

2, If not, is there a soft coral you can recommend that the clown would call home?

Thanks

Is one clown ok alone or should I get another?

If you think I should add another - Will there a problem with adding a 2nd a few days after the first? My LFS just received a fairly large (15) group all at once.

I just recently had my True Perc host my frogspawn. One day out of the blue I just noticed her swimming inside of it. I'm thrilled too! Now its time to find her a mate!

xenia and frogspawn, any other thoughts on a good coral host for an Ocellaris?

Also, do you think clowns do better in pairs or does it matter?

Clowns are known to host in all sorts of odd things. Hammer or torch coral is another example. But there is no guarantee that if you add a coral that the clowns will host in it.
