Fake Anemone Surrogate

[Aurora D.]

I was just wondering if a Clownfish would accept a fake anemone replica of it's natural host.

joyce wilkerson's book shows some clowns hosting some nylon string tied up to look like an anenome.. kind of funny looking. It's gonna be hit or miss what they'll host in, nothing's guaranteed.

I have seen some host rubber anemones.

yes

Oh good, thanks for all the replies. I'm happy to know I can provide a clownfish with a natural replica. The best thing is I save one anemone.

If you happen to find any good looking replicas, please post them. The only thing I've been able to find around here look like absolute rubbish, and with a 12 gallon tank I kind of want to try out a synthetic alternative to see how it works.

A place with some nice fake anemones is www.marineandreef.com/shoppro/natures_image5.htm
Personally I like their carpet anemones
