promiscuous fish (PICS)

[mookie]

so i went to absolutely fish today to buy me a half inch marooner.
while i was there i picked up a condy anemone.

the guy said "i hope you are not buying this for the maroon, because NO CLOWN WILL EVER GO IN IT!" (i am not knocking absolutely fish or the guy, it was just pretty funny)


well seems to me that my clowns are very in particular

sorry about the bad pic, haven't rely figured out the whole posting pics thing...

id be very careful about that. it wouldnt shock me if that condy ended up eating the maroon

 

[mookie]

the first day it looked like they were getting stung by it, but now it dosent seem like its bothering them.

sould i remove the anemone?

and will the nem be ok under 96x2 pc's?

Condys are non hosting anemones.

They may eat or they may let the clown host.

Again like alot of things in this hobby its hit or miss.

A condy can host clowns, seen it a lot. Never seen a haitian eat a clown. To quote Fenner- "Condylactis gigantea, variously known as the florida pink-tipped, haitian pink-tipped, ... or simply as the "condy"...can become a suitable host for large species of clownfishes, ...Tomato...Clarks..."

Good luck with them!
