GSP is the devil and clowns are bad pets
Currently have 4 BTA that get along in my tank. Considering adding a haddoni to the mix in yet another attempt for a clown host. Figured I'd ask if this will work out or not first. @Eagle_Steve @OrionN
BTA and haddoni? Thunderdome?

Yep it's all about risk. I believe the risk can be kept low by isolating them on separate islands and such. Regardless I wouldn't personally keep more than 1 type as I already feel uneasy with keeping just the bta.

Lol, well in that case the risk just went way down. But it's totally up to your comfort with the level of risk. We are already both in in btas but as I said it already makes my blood pressure rise a bit every time they split and start to shuffle those feet.

Tank size would be the only issue i would think of, how big is it? Ritteri it seems find a space high on the rockwork and will move around some when it first arrives, but i think that is the only problem. I would also add carbon when you add the ritteri just in case

I ended up not going with the ritteri. Did some research and they are still not a natural host for the clowns. I'm probably going to catch them and replace with a maroon instead. Thanks for the input everyone!

Some people say that compatibility isn't a thing for captive bred clowns but getting clowns to host in the first place is hard enough regardless. Also I like things to be kinda natural so seeing clarkis swimming in a Sebae for instance is how I like to roll.

Just need to get their natural nem, but still no guarantee they'll move in . Lol

I'd really like a carpet, however I'd rather not have to provide the additional lighting needed. I have a couple black boxes laying around if I wanted to. However I feel it would be a shame to supplement kessil with them.

Yes they are compatible and clowns will host every type that will accept them. Some are just more favourable by the fish than others.
Those are 3 magnifica on the middle back wall. A sea of BTA and 4 carpets, 1 sebae. My false perks prefer the Gigantea, magnifica and mertens. They ignore everything else now but used to bounce from one to another.

I do love your tank it’s gorgeous ! That’s what I’m aspiring mine to be , my anemones actually recently spawned so I’m hoping for more.Yes they are compatible and clowns will host every type that will accept them. Some are just more favourable by the fish than others.
