    Best Clownfish/Anemone Combo for 7g

    Looking to add Clown/Anemone combo (or Clown and frogspawn/torch/etc.) for my little 7g nano reef.

    Will mostly likely add a tiny oscellaris clown - which anemones do best? I have 32W of PC lighting and params are perfect.

    I regularly see:

    - Bubble tip
    - sebae
    - long tentacle

    Which will the osc 'accept' and which anemones tend to do best.

    Thanks

    For a 7 gallon tank - none. Too small.

    Id go with Frogspawn.
    Make sure you can fit all the lighting on top of that thing though.

    hmm, all the lighting? i think the tank would be blocked off by the huge fan you'd need in front of it to keep the tank cool after "all the lighting" was placed over a 7g.. I wouldnt try it...hth

    Tank is too small for an anemone. but the frogspawn will work out nicely. I have a 7.7 gal nano that is dominated by euphyllia corals. Large green frogspawn and a pinkish green hammer. It looks really nice because the hammer and frogspawn can touch each other without any stinging going on. I use 2x13 watt Pcs and have to occasionaly propagate the frogspawn and hammer because they are filling up the tank. I am going to add a pair of ocelleris clowns and hope they will use either of the corals as a surrogate. With your interest in nano reefs you might want to check out www.nano-reef.com.
    I have the mind of a 5 year old and own a fire extinquisher you cant imagine the things i do.
