- I read up on percula clowns and then got a bubble tip anenome for my pair.
- They promptly ignored it for about a year. I then got a ritteri and they
- love it. The bubble tip still lives there, but both fish live in the
- ritteri.

- I don't know about you, but clown/anemone combos are a big part of why
- I started a reef tank. Keep in mind that you need GOOD light to keep
- anemones however. They are photosynthetic creatures. Also pretty
- good water conditions.
