[fatboyt123]

i have two goldbar maroon clowns in my 155 (that i got from trido thank you very much) along with a school of chromis (5) and a scribbled rabbit fish what i want to know is if the maroons will host carpet anemones i have never heard that they wont but havent found anything that really said they would either though just wanted to know and yes i know it really depends on the fish but have you ever seen them host a carpet thanks

That may be the longest sentence I have ever read.

As for the maroons, I do not believe the carpet is a natuarl host. Sometimes they will eventually host but there are also types of carpets that will eat the clowns...

I've seen a pic of a Maroon clown being hosted by a Hells fire anemone, so its certainly possible. Whether or not they will before your carpet eats alot of your fish is another matter....

The only time I've seen Maroon's in a carpet, it was a mated pair in a HUGE carpet. The female GSM was close to 6"!! On the other side of the carpet, was a mated pair of pink skunk clowns. The GSMs allowed them to share. It was pretty cool. BTA and RBTA are the natural hosts of Maroons.

found this pic there is another one but not sure if it is a maroon, and i know that even if there is a picture there is no real way of knowing if mine will host if i dont try it.

i just wanted to know if it was possible.

thanks for the information.

Sure its possible. I think this could be an interesting tank. Pair of evil maroon clowns, a carpet nem and a school of cromis. The possibilities of what could go on in there is endless. I could see the gsm's puling the chromis into the carpet if they end up hosting it. I've seen that happen before and it is just an evil thing to see!
