Haddoni and clowns
Which clowns will host in them? Thanks Bobby

I personally have kept saddle backs and clarkiis with them. Believe that a haddoni is a natural host for both.

How about Percs and Ocellaris? This anemone is so sticky I don't see how anything can host in it.

Some of the time percs and ocellaris will accept a haddoni as a host. On rare occations you will hear of a haddoni eating a perc, but not often.
Saddlebacks and true sebaes are natural symbionts as are most of the clarki complex clowns.

I have had a breeding pair of Percs in my main display with a 10"-12" Blue Haddoni a almost a year now with no hosting. Though they have taken up residency in my large Green Toadstool. Hit and miss.

i am in the process of mating my 2 black perculas with a haddoni.my LFS told me to catch them and place both the clowns and anenome into a strainer and clamp it at the top of the tank in the water still.this should make them acclimate together.ill keep you all posted on what happens

Be careful using the method jgs107 mentioned. My haddoni ate a pair of black Ocellaris clowns and a pair of Percula clowns. In both cases I lost power and in the confusion the clowns jumped into the anemone. They didnt acclimate themselves to it and ended up getting pulled in. I now have a pair of Saddlebacks.

I have a single Clarki in my Hadoni. The only bad thing in my case is the the clown keeps the anemone folded up. Not withdrawn really, just folds in the polyp where the clown can hide. Before the clown entered the picture the carpet would stretch out and lay flat across the rocks and sand. It was huge. Now it can only expand about half of what it did.

My old pair of Clarkii clowns hosted my old blue in a matter of a second...literally.

Ocellaris and percs don't have as thick a slime layer as clarkis and saddlebacks. It normally takes them a while to acclimate to a haddoni. If your haddoni is healthy it will very likely eat your percs before they acclimate to its sting!!!

Saddleback clowns are cool fish especially in a natural host anemone. Some variants I've seen are almost all black with nice thick white bands, yellow on the face.
