What is the cheapest anemone I can get for my clowns to host

[Jereli]

I personally don't have a anemone but my friend bought a condy anemone from petco for like 15 bucks and his clown fish hosted it...i would think that would be one of the cheapest anemone you can buy.. Not all clown fish will host though.. Mine has never hosted anything

[carey]

Condys aren't the best first choice on nems imo. i would get a frogspawn or other flowing coral and try with that. With ANY anemone the chances that a clown will host it are a crap shoot. Same with a coral. Some clowns will host others won't.

Agree is not the best choice but for the price I guess my friend got lucky

Probably a Green Bubble Tip Anemone. But don't go for cheapest go for what you like the best. I know i would hate it to buy a anemone that doesn't look good then have my clowns host it

Would a torch coral work

[carey]

I've heard of them hosting torches. Mine don't yet.

There is no guarantee that a clown will host any anemone or coral.

The only problem with a clown hosting a branching coral is that they will cause trauma to the heads and thus bringing on the dreaded brown jelly disease. As mentioned it`s not guaranteed that they will host an anenome but if you want the best choice as far as an anenome I would consider the bubble tip provided you have the proper lighting and at least a year old tank. As far as corals for me they have hosted bubble corals, walled hammers and mushrooms as my pics show.
