I was just wondering if there was a small type of Clownfish Anenome. If there is or are could you give me a link? Something small enough for a 24g. Planning for the road ahead. Also, what do they eat and how often, I've heard they eat meaty foods... Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There are sooo many different types of anenomes. I'm pretty sure we know of at least 20+ so it'd be impossible for me to list 'em off the top of my head.

Anenomes will eat krill, silversides, or anything floating in the water column that touches their tentacles. It's not really recommended to target feed them quite often though, as studies show they do fine if not better w/o frequent feedings.

Different clownfish have different anenomes preferences, so your best bet would be to decide on the clownfish, and then choose an anenome accordingly. (Although, some clowns are so silly they will even host in frogspawns or cut up plastic bags ) I can help you out with your anenome choosing after you pick a clownfish if you'd like.

I already have 2 ocellaris clowns. Should I have bought clowns that had already found an anenome? Also, how do you get them from the lfs? Do they come attached to a piece of LR? I've heard they are very sticky if you touch them... that would be fun
