Clown likes his new BTA

It took a couple of days for him to notice the BTA, and about a day to move in -- I foolishly put the anemone in the Flame Angel's territory and it took some time for the clown to get up the guts to stand up to the bigger, more aggressive fish. Now the clown's mate has joined him, pretty much forcing the Flame Angel to move down the block :-)

This is my first clown/anemone pair. I didn't know that the clownfish 'moored' themselves by gently holding a tentacle in their mouths. This hobby is absolutely amazing.

The second image is over-sharpened, but I don't have access to the original right now so it'll have to do

What kind of BTA? I am in the market for an anemone. And you have an O.clown hosting in it right? I am looking at BTA's, neon tipped, and magnificent.

Yes, that's an ocellaris; the anemone is an Entacmaea quadricolor. a plain vanilla BTA.

Do you know of any websites that these are on?

I am in the market for an anemone and this maybe the one I get. It looks awesome.

Sorry Dave, I got this one from a LFS. No idea about ordering online...
