Clown ID and BTA

[David604]

I have a clown about 3" long. He is bright red with three white stripes and the white stripes have a thin black border. What klind of clown is that?

What kind of Anenome would be best for him that would look the best and have good chance of being his host?
Thanks

believe it or not, he's a maroon clownfish. I've had two, the younger one's are lighter in color. My older one(which died recently) was much larger and a DEEP MAROON. the three stripes gives it away. I tried a carpet anemone, but my clownfish rejected it from the start. so i went with the rose blulb tulip anemone, he started hosting in it in less than 15 minutes. I got my RBTA from global aquatics(thank you very much Will!) and it's color goes great with them. He'll DEFINATELY host in one of those. If there is an initial rejection, cover the anemone and clownfish with a tupperware bowl with holes in it. Place a live rock piece on top for a couple of days. He'll probably never come out of there again. F.Y.I....Don't buy a caribean or atlantic anemone for them, they haven't met in the wild, so it's best policy not to mix the species. Hope this helps out!!
