Naturally occurring host anemone for Barberi?
Does anyone have experience keeping the Fiji Barberi clown, and if so, do you have any good information on associated anemones? There is plenty of info on frenatus and melanopus, but not so much on the barberi that I can find.
Current listing on LA I'm pretty sure the bulb/quadricolor is a safe bet, but anyone know of any others (crispa, etc.)? |

Magnifica, supposedly. But why do you want them? Most tomatoes are biters. And when they are big, they will draw blood. I am not a fan of open wounds in saltwater tanks.

Since Fiji is a popular diving destination, there are numerous videos of the clowns you are asking about on YouTube. If you just search the scientific name you will get some pretty good results of Barberi clowns in the wild.

It was not that long ago LA id’ed these clowns correctly. They have been selling them for years as something else.

I say get them. They're the only wild caught fish LA offers...the rest are all those tank raised ugly looking freaks...
I have been grabbing up all the wild caught pairs I can get my hands on the last couple yrs..I fear that pretty soon we wont be able to get them... The future may be going to petco and picking mutated deformed fish that have never been in the real ocean...who knows ?...maybe with enough inbreeding they wont even know what an anemone is anymore........

BTW, there is another store here that gets Solomon percula relatively frequently but I don't know if they ship. And their disease treatment of fish is somewhat questionable. The other wild anemonefish on my wishlist would be allardi, chrysogaster, clarkii (Solomons), latifasciatus, latezonatus, milli,... I also still need to find a wild Goldbar Maroon female as a replacement for the one that died in QT. And last week the smaller of my captive-bred latezonatus jumped out. LA has them now, but they don't want to guarantee that they ship me a flawless one so I rather pass.
