Clown/Anemone Question
I originally had 2 tank raised Osc. clowns that got along great but during a recent ich outbreak I lost one of them so now I only have 1. He/she is back in the main display tank (with other fish) but I would like to add another Osc. to have a pair. Now a couple questions. Is it OK if I add a "wild" clown as opposed to another tank raised clown? In addition I'm thinking of adding a host anemone, I know the wild clown will go right for it, will the tank raised clown follow? As a side note I had a bubble tip anemone at one time but the tank raised clowns had nothing to to with it, not sure if it was because it wasn't a natural hosting anemone for the Osc. clowns or because they were tank raised. Either way I would be looking at a carpet anemone this time. So bottom line will the current tank raised clown get along with the wild clown and both hose in a carpet anemone?

Also one other question. In looking at compatability charts it only list 3 anemones that Osc. clowns "naturally" host in, but will they host in other types such as a BTA if there's nothing else available?
