These 2 are like a postage stamp stuck to an envelope! I would have to say the saddleback spends about 80-85 % of it's time in the anenome. Is this bad for the anenome? It's bad, He barely makes it out for feeding time and acts like a sentry (guarding his home) by staying realy close. :eek: or :D ?

Any feed back is appreciated!!!!!!!!!

FYI

150 gal.
60# live rock
1 PJ Cardinal (PJ)
1 electric blue damsel (Lit)
1 tomato clown (Lucky)
1 saddleback clown (Hoss)
1 coral shrimp (Jack-in French)
1 peppermint shrimp (Pepe)
1 hermit crab (Hermie)
1 anenome (Rose) She's got an orange butt, tan body, pink tips,4" long tenticles
UGF sys

Pepe molted last night and Hermie picked himself a new home this morning!

How big is your clown and anenome? Saddles are aggressive with thier anenomes, so you have to make sure the fish is half the size or he will kill it. He will spend almost all his time with it. That's why I don't like having the pair together. He should be bringing the anenome food though.

My friend, if you haven't already, please research how to increase your chances of success with the anemone; millions have died without proper lighting/care. Many only last a few months in the average hobbyist's tank.
