Why get an anenome which is potentally dangerous, quite needy, and difficult to keep in a new tank? Get a frogspawn, torch coral, or hammer. They are pretty similar IMO, easy, and just as good looking. Just my opinion of course

That's true... I love frogspawns and hammers but I really really want my clowns to host something and ive only seen/heard of a few instances when clowns hosted hammers.

Toadstool isnt an anenome, but clowns can host it (like basically anything else).
I agree with NuNu, go for a knarley torch coral IMO

Ya i know what you mean. I would love my clown to host my frogspawn, but the risk of having an anenome outweighs the benefit IMO. You clowns could host the torch?

Just found a dead hermit. Kindof confused me a bit. I figured if my water perameters were off, hed be last to die. So, did he starve maybe? I got diatoms and hair algae.

sometimes they will kill each other for their shells, so if you can get your hands on them get some empty shells.
also, he could've molted and you found his old exterior

You really don't want to try an anemone until you have a mature tank. Minimum 6 months old, preferably a year. You might try an elegance coral or a hammer or frogspawn, they sometimes go for that (although mine never did).

That's probably pretty good.
Drip till water volume doubles. Throw half of it out. Drip till it doubles. Then you're done.
Are you using a coral dip?
