Help with clownfish-host questions.

beatsbymd · Jul 3, 2015

Hi guys, I need your advice. I have 2 tanks, and wanted to tear down my small 20 gal. I have a clown that hosts and anemone in the 20 gal tank. I wanted to move him to my big 60 gal, but I already have a pair of clowns in there that hosts their bubble anemone.
Do you think the clown from the 20 gal would be ok in my 60 gal with the bonded pair?
Or my other option was to give the clown to a friend. My buddy's tank doesn't have an anemone in it, (but it does have hammers) do you think the clown would be ok without an anemone to host?

Thanks in advance!

I believe it would be called World War III.....they would fight to the death.

And clowns don't need anemones.....I have a pair right now that's hosting hair algae. They won't let me remove the algae.
