Anyone else seen these new ocellaris tomato clowns on liveaquaria? Thought they were kinda cool.  Sent from my SCH-R530U using proboards |

I like them a lot but I like the occelaris/clarkii hybrids better.

I was talking with the guy who breeds these on another site. he said they are smarter than an occy.
he has wyoming whites that wont host been 2 years, he put these guys in with a nem they went strait for it and started rubbing in it.
imo- this is all we need a fish that looks like a peaceful occy. then runs rampant threw your tank killing everything like a maroon!

just re read I am talking about the occy X maroon seems like occy will mate with anything wondering if its the male doing the run around or the female  |

The two condys won't host any clowns, they're beautiful but have a strong sting and are know for eating clowns. Some people have haddoni carpets that host pairs of ocellaris clowns but chances are slim that your clowns will want to be hosted by the haddoni carpet anemone because its not a natural host and has a potent sting. Your best luck for getting them to be hosted by an anemone is to try a bubble tip, long tetacle anemone or sebae anemone. None of them are natural hosts for ocellaris but you have a much better chance for it to work with one of those anemones. Gigantea carpet anemones and ritteri anemones "heteractis magnifica" are the two undisputed natural hosts for ocellaris and true perculas if your willing to try a more difficult to care for species. If your clowns were aqua cultured then chances are they might not associate any anemones as a host. I would start by putting something near the overflow like a net or something and keeping it there as long as its needed to try and break their habit. Once they aren't hiding near the overflow all the time they may start searching for a new host. Hopefully an anemone this time. It can take months for clowns to choose an appropriate host though.

ty very much for the advice I hadn't thought of trying to get them away from the overflow great thought! Second thing though is I want to try to get rid of the anemones I have now before getting another one witch is what I'm in the process of doing

Craigslist or bring them to easy aquariums. Jason may give you enough in trade for a green bubble tip. I just got two from him the other day. Condys are kinda hard to trade off but those are your best chances.
