    Hi just got my nano the way I want it, and I am ready to add some easy, clown fish, hermit crab, firefish, friendly corals. Preferably something the clowns can use as a pseudo anemone. Also, looking for a few mini brittle stars. I do not want the green brittles that get large. Any help would be great! Awesome site by the way!

    I've had clowns host in hairy mushrooms, paly's, zoas, acan echinata and a frogspawn.
    Currently my two clowns are residing in the paly/zoanthid patch in the front of my tank.

    Yup a clown I had once hosted a acan enchinata. Was way cool to watch the clown actually feed the acan lil pieces of shrimp.

    I had a clown that hiosted an orange cap before. Ouch. LOL If you are near the Detroit area, I have some nice hairy mushrooms and yumas as well. One big yuma might look cool in your tank. My clown fish love them. You would be welcome to one.

    I would look n into euphilias....like frogspawn, hammers and torch corals.

    But, as said-

    many clowns are opurtunistic, and will host what they can find.

    Are these clowns captive breed or wild caught?
