Oh ok, thanks! I was worried that one day o woke up and one of them be death. I’m still getting another anemone more compatible with the clowns.
For how long they were together until that happened?
Condylactus are more ornamental and its rare clowns go into them but however domino damsels although nasty will make them home immediatellyHi there! I recently bought a Condy anemone and I place it inside my almost a year fish tank with 2 clownfish. I didn’t know until a few days ago that this type of anemone eats fish. The anemone has been with the clowns in the tank for about 1-2 weeks so I want to know if a should get rid of this anemone or I can leave it a corner of tank? And which recommendations for more friendly anemone should I get in the future?
6 months.
Is it true that any Damsel has problems with Clownfish?
They are related and while it depends on the individual fish, most damsels can be jerks
There isn’t. Should I get one? The clowns, some hermit blue legged crabs and a few snails have been there without it since I started.
When I first started in the hobby I bought a condy because of the price vs others. At least it was labelled as one. I later added a bubble tip (from what I remember it was 20+ yrs ago) when my clown wouldn't host in it. The condy moved across the tank overnight and began warring and killed the new anemone. Also your clowns look like ocellaris so they may not host in bubbletips either FYI.
Yes, they are Ocellaris. Any suggestions on which anemone will work? And is there anything that I can do to avoid the fight between the anemones?
All clowns have specific species they host in the ocean. Ocellaris naturally host in magnifica and carpets , two of the harder nems to keep. Your best bet is probably to rehome the condy and try a bubbletip and hope you get lucky or get another species of clownfish and rehome those.
Awesome, thanks!
I really love to see the relationship between the Condy and Clownfish.Hi there! I recently bought a Condy anemone and I place it inside my almost a year fish tank with 2 clownfish.

Yes, you definitely should.
Oh my gosh that’s what my condy must have looked like as a baby!!! Haha i never could believe it was ever that small! Mine is a beast now (10 ish? yrs old) and hosting two clowns. Apparently my orange clown had previous anemone experience, so when the owner at the time added the tiny baby condy, it immediately took to it, and the mate clown followed suit when he joined. The condy does occasionally try to eat a snail or hermit crab (the crabs give him a poke and he backs off lol), but my fish sleep in the condy at night and hide under it when i’ve got my hands in the tank (sans food lol). My situation isn’t the norm though. Watching to see how this goes. Good luck!
i love my condy!! Has the same orange foot as yours under there
