I have a true perc and a false perc and love them both. Pretty colours though they do not seem to want to host in my BTAs.

I absolutely love my maroon clown, but knowing what I know now about how aggressive they are, I would have gone with a black or tomato and not the maroon. That being said, when I first threw my anemone in the tank, it took all of about 5 minutes before the maroon was hosting.

Those are bubble tip anemone's. My ORA Cinnamon Clowns just love mine! The Cinnamon Clowns are very aggressive to me though, attacking me whenever I put my hand in the tank. My personal favorite are false perc's.

BTAs are pretty much natural host nems for Maroons. He he, I'm partial to them since I have a pair. Female is getting more aggressive but so far everyone gets along for the most part. I can't imagine my tank without them.

That anemone on the bottom right is a condylactis...they don't host clownfish. To have a better chance at hosting a clownfish, you would need a Bubble tip anemone, even then, it's not garanteed.

Depends what else you have in the tank. With a pair of maroons you'll have way more aggression than if you were to have only one, especially if they spawned. I <3 the picasso's as well.. even though they are just a mutated true perc... i have a gold stripe maroon and he's boss hog in my tank.

BTA's will also be hosted by Clark's and Tomato's as well as about eight others not as common.
Remember you have to make sure your anemone is at least three times the size of the fish you plan to pair with it.
