Newbie here searching for small anenome

[ELBee]

Hi! So the title basically says it all. Additional details: my husband bought me an adorable 5gallon zoa tank. (Zoas are my current fave)

But it has a clownfish in it that keeps trying to host on the lone brain coral in there. The brain does NOT appreciate this new friendship.

I never intended to own a clown but here he is and he's so personable, I'm all in on thus guy and really want to get him a proper anenome to chill with.

But I am overwhelmed. So many types, species and varieties. I just need one that is relatively friendly to beginners, safe for thr clown and won't overtake the tiny tank.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

I might have a small one available. I will just need to confirm when I get home from work. Shoot me a message!

Rainbow Bubble Tips Anemones (RBTAs) are pretty common and easy to care for that are usually readily accepted by most clowns.

How long have you had the tank going and what kind of light do you have? Unlike Zoas, RBTAs will need some stronger light.

Just a word of caution, a 5 gallon Tank is really too small for a clown let alone a clown and an anemone. If you do have proper light for the anemone most likely both will outgrow that tank in no time… Just a thought.

Thanks. I was honestly thinking it's a bit cramped for him. I have a 32g cube I plan on transferring him into soon.

I agree with all of the above, especially @dball711

5g is really too small for a BTA, both for water parameter fluctuations but also overall size. The 30g cube should be good..
