New Chicago Sunburst Anemone looking for clownfish (CSB4CF in California)

[bubbgee]

I just got this monster of a CSB, but i do not have any clownfish in the tank yet (mostly wrasses and gobies). I would like a nice contrasting colored clownfish that the anemone will host. Initially I was thinking something like ice storms but would like any input from everyone.

Thanks in advance!

Whatever clownfish you end up with, don’t get your hopes up on hosting. It may or may not happen.

Understood. I've been lucky once years ago. Have not been able to since.

I have used a method that does seem to get clownfish in anemones pretty fast. Just need a small acclimation box. Place the box next to the anemone and only leave a small opening for the clownfish to get out. The opening has to be directly at the anemone so the clownfish must swim though the tentacles to get out. This has worked for me 4/4 times I have done it all within 1-2 days.
Alternatively a larger acclimation box at the top of the tank with both the clown and anemone can work but can take longer.

Lots of clownfish out there it just depends on what colors and look you want. Maroons are my favorite but they can be real a-h0les
