broken onyx clowns?

[clayspst]

so when will the host one of my anemones? i have a XL Sabae, XL blue carpet and a small GBTA i have the clowns for six months with no luck. i know this is hard to answer but i thought i will try.

You dont have onyx clowns you have Black and white Ocellaris,

they can be tough to get to host, but i think enticing them to hang out around the anemone might help at this point.

I don't think anyone can answer that. From what I've read here, clowns definately have a mind of their own. Hopefully they'll jump into one of those.

Try not feeding the fish for a couple of days, and then target feed the anemones with a tweezers or turkey baster (tweezers probably better, as you have more control and can hold it there until the clowns notice).

A girl in our reef club had success with this method, as it got the clowns in the vicinity of the anemone. Then the lightbulb went off for them.
