I am just tickled pink and wanted to share.

I have have been trying to get my clowns to host a small green BTA for over a year. The most they did was look at it. I just bought a medium sized rose BTA and the clowns dove inside 5 minutes after it was in the tank.

All this waiting...now I know my clowns prefer rose BTAs over green :) .

Thank you.

Now for a question:
How small an anemone will a clown host. Maybe my green BTA was just too little (BTA is 4 in. across, clown is 2 in long) to be interesting.

I don't think they too much preference. I just a got a GBTA thats about 4 in. across fully expanded and my mated cinnamons dove right in. The female is just a bit bigger than it, and the male is about 2 in. I have feeling it doesn't like them though, it rarely opens all the way.

I'm in Middle of Nowhere, Ontario, where all fish stores are an hour drive away. So your cinnamons dove right in, NEAT. Maybe there is still hope for my little green one. I'm trying it with a different pair of false percs. It's day one...no luck yet, not even a sniff.

I'm in North Augusta, just south of Merrickville. It's a small world.
