Are clowns faithful to one anemone?

[Cdogsailr]

I added two more BTA's a month ago and the clowns thumb their nose at them. Do clowns stay true to just one anemone?

No, I once had a bookend of LTA on one side of my 180g and a sebae/Crispa on the other, my maroon went back and forth, and when I had a BTA specific my picasso's went into all of them.
Of course not all will act or do exactly the same.

Mine go to several nems all the time. I even have a pink skunk and two maroon clowns sharing them together.

They are greedy and take what they can get...

I think the answer is, 'it depends'. I had a BTA in my tank some years ago that my clowns reluctantly accepted as a host. When I subsequently added a magnifica (their natural host anemone) they couldn't have ditched the BTA any faster.

Nope! They're nem whores.

I agree, natural match makes all the difference, but if it had 2 mags instead of a natural and non natural it would most likely bounce to both.

I have several rbtas in my tank that the clowns would go from one to another.Two years later I add a H.mag and they have not left it since,even when a rbta moves close to the Mag.

I have a mag and gigantea in the same tank -- it's almost cruel to the pair of percs that are in the tank -- they move back and forth between the nems like they can't make up their mind.

I have 20 clowns in one of my gigs, they only stray away for a few seconds to eat from my hand during feeding time [emoji1]

my two percs rotate through three rbta within different areas. give it time.
