Best Starter anemone

[SpJc11]

ok heres the thing . I have an O. clown that was hostign a patch of hair algea. when i finally got rid of the hA the clown got all stressed out. I would like to get him an anemone that he might host. so far I was thinking bubble tip? oh yea i dont have very strong lighting at all so it would have to be able to live in low lighting conditions. Please include what to feed it any supplements how hard it is to care for thanks.

they need at least decent lighting like power compact not strip lights.

I have kept Rose bubbles and they are easy if you have T-5's and or MH lights.
If the clown hosts but doen't feed it would be best to spot feed once a week!

Mini carpet anemones are great. Nearly impossible to kill under any condition. They can be bland looking so look for something with great color.

I killed a bubble tip in record time... but new tank... they are beautiful though. Good luck!

I once had a clown host in a condydactylus (sp). They're not supposed to, but it did. Condy's have lower light requirements I believe and are cheap too boot.

Anemones HATE new water.....
And LOVE BRIGHT LIGHT!! (except a few)

condy's - cheap and good, they need moderate lighting - GOOD LUCK
