Default Carpet and clowns.

Our two perculas host our carpet anemone. In the beginning, we bought what we were told to be a Heteractis magnifica anemone, and as soon as we placed it into the water, the clowns took to it, started the fighting/dominance development. Unfortunately the anemone died, then the clowns swam aimlessly around the tank. We then got a nice carpet anemone from J&L, again they took to it immediately...and it's been great ever since (about 4-5 months now).
On a side note and maybe pressing our luck, we have a GBTA on the opposite side of our tank (135 Gallons), and we're planning on getting another set of clowns to host the that anemone. Maroon clowns are more aggressive, but it's something we might try.
