Goby. But the midas may not get along with another blenny.

Someone with more experience may be able to chime in on that.

Those clown goby’s are small. Like a centimeter long. Mine disappeared in my tank never to be seen again.

What Goby would work if any What about a Watchman

Mine took 5 or 6 nems, 2 years and every internet trick I could find.

Captive bred?
I've heard of them never hosting or host a powerhead in a tank with nems. I might have better luck because I have other larger fish so maybe that encourages the clowns look for cover. Just speculation

Any really just telling you the clown ones are small.

I wouldn’t get a diamond unless you have a lot of sand and rocks are mounted on the bare bottom.

Mine host the bare bottom. Literally just push all the sand to one side of the tank.

Can I place the nem on just the crushed coral sand

Put it anywhere. It will move wherever it wants. I’d drop it on a rock though, they prefer holes in rocks for the foot.

Using this method I have not had an anemone move in the last 10+ years.

Anemone Acclimation and Trying to Prevent Moving

I hope this is not a superfluous post or what you thought it was going to be. Like a lot of people with bubble tip anemones (BTA) I have wanted them to stay in a specific region for various reasons from ascetics to not om noming my corals on walkabout. I started doing this method about 6 years...

Instead of the Midas I am going with the Yellow Watchman Goby

If you get a watchman get a tiger pistol to go with it.

It’s been my experience for sure. I will probably try one more time to @enciurage them” the next time I remove Nems. But they certainly aren’t following my wild caught even though they all hang out together.

Also the orchid dottyback and damsel may be aggressive

Damsels are just aggressive may sum it up best.

Ours is a baby, but I am well aware of this being very rare.

I would be more worried about the 1.5yo clowns i added a dotty back and springri and the springri is the only one who survived.

That happens. My fish in my tank LOOK way different than my list i start with 3 years ago.

I never planned to have 6 springeris but they are in there. Lol

If you want them for the colors, that can be done. I personally would go with a yellow watchman/tiger pistol and a tailspot.

Why is that Then dump the Lawnmower

 

[Katrina71]

Why is that

The tailspot has a ton of personality. It will graze on your rocks too. The watchman and tiger are really cool to watch and will keep your sand turned over well.
