Butterflys and anemones

[dbartco]

Curious of what experiences, if any, people have had w/ keeping butterflies and anemones. I have a large rbta in a "supposed" fowlr tank, that I would like to keep, and do not have room in the reef tank.

 

Besides:

 

bannerfish

pyramids

copperbands

longnosed

 

 

I have interests at either pakistani, mertensii, paucifisciatus, or saddlebacks. Nothing too fancy, not willing to go the >$150 route. Could even consider red sea raccoon

 

Suggestions?

With the right pair of clowns, an RBTA will be safe from almost any predator. IME mature: skunks, nigripes, and black ocellaris have proven very effective pound for pound.

Forgot to mentions that... I guess I need to add some clowns.

Doug you can do the Pearlscale Butterflyfish (Chaetodon xanthurus) beautiful fish if ask me and you can also do a pair Yellow Stripe Clowns which IME have proven a very aggressive and protector of their BTA
