True or False Percs w/ BTA or RBTAs?

Have any of you had any success with True or False Percs hosting a Bubble Tip Anemone?

If so, do you have any pictures you would mind posting?

The Anemone FAQ and everything else I've read about anemones do not list either Perc as a host for the BTAs. I'd like to get an anemone for my Percs, but would also like to start with one that has a high rate of success...

I've had no problems with BTA's and false percs... My false percs will host in anything. Right now I have an isolated patch of xenia elongata for them to reside in.

It's really dependant upon the individual fish. And not the species.

I might have some pics I will post later when I get home.

Although neither are not listed as probable hosts for an RBTA, it is really dependant on the fish itself. I know of many false percs hosting in RBTA's. Personally in my upgraded tank I will be adding a LTA for my pair of mated O. percs.

My false percs host in my hammer and RBTA. It took them a couple of weeks to notice it though.

It does depend on each individual fish, but I have had both true and false percs hosting BTAs. I have also had them host in hammers, frogspawn, and leathers.

I keep trying to convice my clowns that there's a RBTA for them to host in. They still like the frogspawn. I'm glad to see they'll eventually find it.

Mine took 6 months to start hosting the BTA. Don't know why, but now it fights any fish that comes near it.
