Default Rather New Anemone Question

Hello everyone,

I just want to say that this is my first post and i thank you all for inquiring!

I have just purchased a Sebae Anemone (yellow, bubbly, and purple dots on the tips of the bubbles) I also have a small clown fish, im not 100% on the exact type of fish) My question: It there anyway to help introduce the clown fish to the anemone to make the clown fish host in it? I saw some larger clown fish hosting in it, and i would really like to see this happen. Any information would be wicked awesome! Thanks everyone!

Some clowns wont host in an anemone. Here is a compatability chart that might help, but you will need to know what type of clown you have. http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/marin...mbioticMap.htm Also, anemones are not easy animals to keep alive, read as much as you can about how to care for them and good luck.
