So i bought a somewhat small Atlantic anemone today at the LFS and I wasn't expecting my maroons to host it because its just an Atlantic nem, but i get it home and within an hour they are all over it, wriggling about and hovering in it. Am i mistaking something else for hosting? Neither the nem nor the clowns seem to be getting injured from this

Whats goin on??:eek:

Its very possible they are trying to host in this...Clowns can be very unpredictable sometimes what they will host in..So, its certainly not un-heard of...Good deal, i say !!!

By the way, this thread is useless without pix ;) he he he he

It is less likely to happen than with other anemones.. and some reason I see more Maroon's hosting with Atlantics than any other type of clown.. Here is mine. Jumped right into my anemone within 10 minutes of placing the anemone in the tank... 5 years ago.
