10 gallon nano, anemone possibility?

[lovemyfish79]

Just wondering if there is an anemone I can get for my ten gallon nano tank? Livestock is 2 clownfish, 4 snails, and a crab. I have 2 corals on the live rock that are doing great and I know the clownfish would be ecstatic if there was an anemone haha also plan on getting a cleaner shrimp

Alright so after doing a little more research I wi not be getting an anemone, but what would be a good coral for the clownfish to host in or are the current ones I have be alright?

Frogspawn maybe. Or a coral with long polyps

I have two anemones in my tank and my clowns host a hammer coral. Go figure!

Thanks guys, going to my lfs this weekend and see what I end up with

Well in actuality clownfish do not host anything, the anemone or coral hosts the clown. But anyways, do not get your hopes up with a coral hosting it. Of course it's possible and over time may happen but don't force it. You'll only stress out the coral and fish. Be patient, because it can take a while.

Yeah, I want to get some different coral anyways and a peppermint shrimp (is that what their called) and I'm done as far as stocking for my tank haha.

Very nice! Is that real reef rock?

Also what kind of corals do you have??

Very very nice!

Yeah 11 pounds of live rock and I have no idea, the lady that has been helping me at my lfs said it was easy to maintain and very hardy seeing how this is my first saltwater tank. Here's a pic from tonight. My first clown is trying to persuade the new one I think haha

This is from the sore I work at. They see to take a good liking to waving hand coral.

Yeah I saw another clown at my lfs that was in love with a coral just like that

What is this coral called? I'm pretty sure this is the same type their clown called home at my lfs as well

Make sure to get a bit of it. Although it grows pretty fast. You might ding yourself cutting it and snipping it to keep it under control

So I ended up buying some coral from a guy off craigslist. Got some pulsing xenia, octopus looking coral as my wife calls it and the brainy thing I got from my lfs. Sorry about the pic, everything is closing up as its getting close to bed time.

 

[lovemyfish79]

Sorry here's a pic haha

I have s aussie torch coral, I think mines yellow tipped, they look similar to some anemones. I added a maroon clown a couple weeks ago, pretty much instantly he took a shine to the coral. I don't thinks he's hosting it 100% yet but he definatley hangs around it all the time and touch it a lot.

Here's a pic of the coral, the fish is abit blurry.
