HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA....
Stupid darwin clowns...lol Too bad man, thats a really pretty anemone, guess it's not worth the risk to your mandarins if the clowns don't want to host in it. Maybe someone here knows something you haven't tried to get them hosting?? |

Sebae will host the following.
barrier reef, Two Band, Orange Fin, Clark's, Red Saddle back, White Band, White Bonnet, Red and Black, Oman, Percula, Pink Skunk, Saddelback, Orange Skunk, and the three band. Do you have any of those if not chances are the will not host. If you tell me what clowns you have I can tell you what anamone is best for them.

I appreciate you tryin to help but I obviously checked out what anemone my clowns would like before I bought it. They hosted in a frogspawn anyways.
THANKS TO SEAHORSE FANATIC FOR GIVING THE ANEMONE A GOOD HOME.

Its better they host something else did you know anemones live to 300 + years in the wild.
In captivity 3-5 months best case for most. Sebae has an expected live span of only a year in captivity under pristine conditions. Not wanting to sound negative or tell you what to do but knowledge in this hobby is important. I think they should be left in the wild as if there are no anemone the clown fish will not survive only a mating pair makes it in the wild after laying eggs for their whole lives as few make it to maturity, and in the wild they need the anemone to survive as they are slow and easy pray. In captivity they don't need this as we take care of them. My 2 cents

Marlin, I gotta say that therealbigal takes more care in fewer tank inhabitants rather than overwhelming himself with many...
That is to say, the sebae when he had it was fed a silverside every 2 days by hand and literally had the run of his tank... I would bet his library of books on clownfish husbandry exceeds even your own as he buys a new one every week or so and reads them until I can't even stand how much he has to say about clowns... I know we're all just trying to help each other out, but I wouldn't question his knowledge on something like this just because his darwins wouldn't host on his sebae as planned when he puchased it. you guys might actually have much to discuss on the subject, given your own mutual interest and commitment to the better care of these animals  BTW, seahorse_fanatic has taken the anemone and so it has gone from one very good home to another. mods....do as you will. |

I was not intending to question anyone or say that he did something wrong was only trying to be helpful. Most people think they are easy to keep and most people can't keep them alive for more than a year.
They just do not have a good track record in captivity and for an animal that can live up to a century I feel they should not be in the trade. This is just my opinion and by no means were my comments meant to offend anyone. Sorry if it came across this way. PS your PM box is full.
