Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I am going for a clownfish/anemone combo in my tank, just one fish, not a pair.
I am hoping to have the clown (probably a Perc) take to whichever anemone I add to the tank, but my question is this:
If I add a clownfish to the tank before I add an anemone, will this decrease the likelihood of the clown taking to the anemone as its host?
I was thinking that the clown might very well take up residence in a cave somewhere, and thereafter be oblivious to anything else. And then once I do get around to adding the anemone, it won't care. I am in the process of upgrading my lighting, so I want to wait before I add the anemone.
And on a sidenote: can anyone recommend a good anemone thats GREEN that will have fairly good odds at hosting a percula clownfish. This is going to be in a 30g mixed reef. A green BTA perhaps?
Thanks. :thumbsup:
