Ok I was about to move my baby clowns into my main display tank, Im tired of having two separate tanks set up and I want them to be as healthy as possible, which the big tank would allow. BUT before I go ahead and move them I want to get as many opinions as I can!!

I have a RBTA for them to go to BUT it is fairly small, maybe too small? The anemone is about 4in diameter and the clowns are only a tiny bit bigger than they were when they left the store, about 1in. each. How small is too small anemone wise? I dont want to cause any harm to the RBTA! Also the other tank mates are: 4-5in blue tang, 3in mystery wrasse, 3in lyretail anthais, 3in cleaner wrasse.

Im more worried about the cleaner wrasse than anything, harassing the youngins. I will move the anemone to the right corner so its more secluded along with some pulsing xenia which the clowns have been calling home for the past 3 months.

What does everyone think?! Wait some more or do you think i can go ahead and put them in!!!? Let me know, anything will help!

Thanks,

Jarob

You know I would add them....but that's because I already have. :)

P.S. My large cleaner wrasse is a pest to everyone except the clowns....it has never gone anywhere near them....but they also don't leave the anemone for long....and retreat back to it quickly. Oh, and my clowns have almost doubled in size since adding them to the display.
