switching over

rob1991 · 11/05/2009, 12:52 AM

i am debating switching my 215 reef to a fish only because i have been wanting some angels and butterfly fish, and maybe a trigger or a lion fish......my question is this....is it possible to still keep my 4 anemones in the FOWLR? i will still have my metal halides and such. but what fish would that limit me to? also will the triggers llike a clown trigger or a lion fish eat any of my chromis, clownfish, or mandarin that i currently have? or would i have to get rid of those as well??
thanks in advance!

You could still keep your Anemones but make sure you have Clowns to protect them. What type of Clowns do you have? I would recommend the bigger ones like Clerkii's or Marroon's. A lion will eat any fish that can fit into his mouth. As far as Triggers go it depends on which ones you get.

Clown trigger is going to eat just about anything in there and would probably harass a Lion and others that are too big to eat quite a bit. They are about the meanest trigger out there. I also would not put a lion in with the anemones. I have heard numerous accounts of lions being killed from anemone stings. I wanted a clown trigger myself, but I'm not willing to risk it.
