This article may clear the issue about Clowns and Anemone Compatibilty:

Great article, thanks.

The only point I would add though is that in captivity, "all bets are off." Ie., just because a pairing doesn't occur in nature (eg. ocellaris and haddoni) doesn't mean it won't happen in an aquarium (for that matter, it doesn't mean it will, either).

Ultimately the aquacultured pair of Ocellaris will find it's anemone.

+1 There's probably hundreds of variables in whether or not a clown will bond with an anemone and in the home aquarium we don't always have those covered over. Not the least of which is the personal disposition of the clowns.

I heard if you toss a lionfish in the tank they'll take to most anemones haha. But anyways my clarkii's to right to it now what I'm worried about is the clarkii's pairing. One spends all it's time in the anemone And the other one seams to swim a little farther and haven't seen it in it yet (besides last night when it was in the underside fold to sleep)

Sounds like they are on their way, they can take quite a long time to completely pair, even once paired some females wont allow the male in with them.

I think it's pretty obvious what one is going to be the female. It's already taken the anemone as it's own. The male sleeps in a fold on the under side haha pretty funny how he does

So it hasent been liking the shrimp I try to feed it so I went and got some silversides. It took it right into its mouth. And a few hours later spit it out. Do I need to remove the skin?

Try giving it the shrimp that's half cook,no head,tail and skin like I do.

Half cooked? I was giving it raw and it never even gets to it's mouth. The silverside got gobbled right up
