Do clownfish require an anemone?
No. All clownfish do quite well in the aquarium without a host anemone. Host anemones require special care, and are not for every aquarist, so many people will want to enjoy their clownfish without a host. Because clownfish naturally remain in a small territory (the area immediately around the host anemone) they adapt quickly to the confines of an aquarium. This makes clownfish among the best marine aquarium fish.
