I am sure that this has been discussed before but hoping I can get a few updated responses.
I have a pair of Black/White Ocellaris clowns that I am sure are tank bred. I know it's never 100% that any clown will host an anemone but I wanted to know what nem you all recommended or have experience with your black/white clowns.

Thanks.
 
What size tank?
What lights do you have?
Have you ever kept a hosting anemone before?

The clowns being tank breed will not be the issue with getting them to be hosted, the issue is that they are usually paired up with an E. quadricolor (( not a natural host anemone for ocellaris, but "easier" to keep hosting anemone )), as opposed to a Gig or Mag, which happen to be a natural host anemone (( and 2 of the most difficult hosting anemones to care for )).

Tanks is 110 with LED lights.
I have had Sebae, bubble, and a Mean Carpet in the past. Pretty sure Hadonni.

Might be a stupid question but its been a while since I have gotten big into the forum thing but which nems are you talking about when you say Gig or Mag?

Thanks

Stichodactyla gigantea and Heteractis magnifica.

Which LEDs?
 
Here are some Mag and Gig. Please notice that they are very beautiful, but are the hardest of the anemones to get healthy and taken care for long term survival. They both require very high light and good current.

Magnifica
