Are there any host anemones that will do well in a non reef setup? I would love to have a host anemone but I don't have a reef lighting system.

No, all host anemones are zooxanthellate and therefore need good lighting. You may be able to find an anemone that is azooxanthellate if you just want to host anemonefish but I would say without at least VHOs don't attempt the anemone. Sorry.

Ok. Thanks, that's kinda what I figured but I love to watch the relationship between clownfish and anemones so I just thought I'd ask. Until I get the funds to set up a reef tank I guess the public zoo's display will have to work for now:)
