Is there any average time it takes Percs to host an RBTA?

 

[Peppie]

They may never use the RBTA as a host. Some will some will not, It may take 10min it may days, weeks.....

I took my clowns 3 years to host

 

[Airphotog]

Well they are hosting now and one of my RBTAs split so I now have 5

I'm looking to get a pair of clowns, but looking for some cool anemone first. Are these safe with my niger trigger and angels?

 

[jschulst]

and second, is there a better way to find some than pay an arm and leg at the LFS?

 

[Somethings Fishy]

depends, i am not the expert

 

[Somethings Fishy]

watch the classifieds, most of the time they will be way cheaper than the 70 bucks for a rbta

Periodically a member will have one that splits or is just getting rid of the one they have. They will post it in the "classifieds for free or sale".

You can also post a wanted ad in the classifieds. There is a membership time limit and post count requirements before you will be able to access the classifieds though. Be patient, you will get one. Read up on them and make sure you can recognize a healthy anemone so you dont end up buying one that is already ill.

I have a 72 FOWLR glass bowfront, but will soon transfer to a 110 (60x18x24) that has a built in corner overflow. Currently I have africans in it and trying to sell them to pave way. I have about 60lbs of live rocks.
