im in the process of getting another tank going and i know i will have a pair (they will eventually turn into a pair) of clowns in there, My last pair would never host in a green bubble tip i had for them.
Is it better to introduce the clowns after the anemone is in the tank and established? or get the clowns and then introduce the anemone later.

If I were you I'd get everything at once. If not then get the anemone first so it can get situated in the tank. Then get the clowns. Let me know how ya make out!

IMO, anemone should not go into a new tank.

Ideally you would want the anemone to go into the tank first in order to get situated before it gets abused by the clowns, but as orion said anemones dont belong in newer tanks so clowns would be your best bet.

yes, do not put the anemone in an unestablished tank, therefore, put the clowns in first.

i am not planning on it for a couple months, let the tank get stable. All the live rock will be coming from an established tank. The only thing new till be sand and about half the water.
Im just trying to plan ahead a little bit
