Clown/ nem tank
- Thread starter hans24hrs

I have RBTA and rock anemone in the same tank. I would put the more mobile BTA in first then put in others that don't move much.
Thank you for the help. Now I have to figure out what kind of lighting I am going to do. I do have a blue line phantom, getting fixed that I can use. And I also have a reef breeders LED that is lent out right now. But both are only about 12-14 inches in length and tank is 36 long. Was thinking of doing LED/T5 combo but want something dimmable.
Not sure what to choose.

just minor point -
clowns do not host anemones - it's the other way around.
Rock anemone do not host any clownfish since the former is from the atlantic and the latter is from the pacific =)
Odds are the rock anemones will attempt to eat clownfish. there are exceptions for sure.
BTAs normally host Maroon Clownfish but most of us with reef tanks are able to get them to host many other species of clownfish (mine i think is a perc). A long time ago we had a member who just had a pair of clowns and multiple clones of btas in a 55 tank. He was basically selling the nems periodically as they split. I think back then he had a bank of VHO lights LOL.
Good luck!

I think that was Ralph in Edison. That RBTA I got from him was a gorgeous nem. I haven't seen one like that since I got back in the hobby 2 years ago.
yep! he was such a nice guy. I joined when he hosted his first club meeting.
i got my rbta from a member here last year...dang it i can't remember who. My original one from jrwohler died because of hurricane sandy. You will have to post up some pics when the tank is set up. Sounds cool.
Will do. It is up and running. I just need to get light for it. Looking at AI primes. Right now just have a small 50/50 fuge light above it. There is only a tube anenome and a couple of small shrooms and the clowns. As soon as I get the lights I will be adding some softies that are in my fuge on my big tank
