just wanted to share a pic of my female bk/wt clownfish in her anemones. the mother anemone is top right and her clone is in the foreground. the mother split off a big piece of herself so her clone is quite large though the split is recent. my clowns do love their anemones!

Did you have any problems with the anemones...I mean raising them, I've heard they are so hard to keep?

Very nice Pic!! I love the black Clowns.

thanks, i love my bk/wt clowns especially in the rbta, i think they look so nice!
as far as keeping the nems goes, well i really intended on having one but that's the way it goes when you have nems! my lighting is pretty intense, i have 2x250w HQI's along with 4 54w T5's on a 75g tank so there is plenty of light for the most demanding of corals, clam or anemone. as long as your water quality is good and you have tons of light for the nems they should be just fine. the biggest problem with anemones is they can move - and they sting! so when you have them in a tank with other corals you have to cross your fingers that they won't decide to go sit on a $100 coral! also they have a very bad habit of getting sucked up in power heads. fortunately my nems seem either to be very happy or just are not wanderers as they do not move about the tank at all :)
