I have a rose anemone and was woundering if Perculas or Ocellarus will use them as a host?

Ocellaris do not typically host in a BTA. I bought two ocellaris and a BTA about 4 months ago, and the clowns have not gone anywhere close to it. They actually haven't hosted in any of my corals as of yet, although I have seen it before in other tanks. Maroon Clowns are natural hosters of BTA's, but are fairly aggressive and look less like NEMO than what some people want.

Both Perculas and Ocellaris will sometimes host in Bubble tips, but usually they will stay away from them.

May I suggest a GSM? (Gold Stripe Maroon)

I believe that Jake posted a compatability chart somewhere on here a while back... Try doing a  Search The ForumSearch. His was really good from what I remember

Or you can try...

Carl!  I just found a good link to a compatibility chart.  Came back to the message board and you had already posted.

I've seen the compadability chart on marinedepot.com and I already have a maroon clown that is host to a green bubble tip. Pet planet has rose anemonies for $34 so I picked one up and now want a fish or two to go with it. I like the Perculas and Ocellaris because of the coloring and was hoping they could adopt the anemonie even though the chart said they wer't compadable. I've been told by the pet that they might so I just wanted to see if anyone had any luck. Now the maroon has taken them both over. Oh well.

How big is your Maroon? 

Very often the Maroons don't take to other clowns well.  I would have to bet that if you put a Perc or and Ocellaris in you tank with it they wouldn't last long.  And it would be a shame to watch the little guys get beat up until they died.

Does anyone have a maroon clown together with a percula or ocellaris?  wsinbad is probably right.

I've head that about Maroons. But I've also heard that if they have plenty of space you may be able to keep both

My maroon is about 2 inches. I put the two anemonies at oppisite ends of the aquarium so the maroon would leave any other clowns alone.
