Pink Skunk Clown Host?

zigrat88 · 01/16/2007, 08:44 PM

All - Looking to get something for my 2 pink skunk clown's to potentially host in, I understand there is no certainty. From all my research on anenomies it sounds like they my be a little more difficult to keep, ecspecially the ones recommended for the pink skunk.

So was looking for suggestions? Was think about maybe an LPS, plate coral, frogspawn, torch coral?

I just got a 250W MH light so hopefully lighting shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks

its not a guarentee that it will host the xenia, mine as well as some other people i know does. it will also take time. the clown wont just jump in the xenia, it will have to aclimate to it and know its not a threat. it can take a week or a year, you never know. and each clown is different, tank raised clown have the tendancy not to host anything ever.

Well I know one of my clowns use to host in frogspawn, so hopefully that will help. I'll put some in and see what happens. I'll probably also throw in a plate coral. and se what happens.
