Bubble tip and Percula success stories.

Hi all.
So I bought a pair of True Perculas about a month back in the hopes of finding a nice Carpet Anemone. After about a month of searching and not being able to find any Carpets except for a $800 Red Hadonni I gave up and bought a beautiful Entacmaea Quadricolour.

Anyways I've read and read and it seems everyone says Perculas will NOT go into this Anemone. Yet if you search Bubble Tip Anemone in Google it seems 60% of the images have a Perc's or Ocies in it.

Well basically what I am getting at here, people post pics of YOUR Perc or Ocie in Bubble Tip's or tell me about it. (Or any other "non compatible" match up)
 
strange ... all 5 pairs of my true percs adore their RBTA ... and the previous pairs I've owned as well. Never had a true perc that didn't like the BTA... i always thought it was strange when ppl say theirs don't.
 
i have occ's but bubble tips arent their natural host either.. it took 3 months before my female took to the bta, my clown always slept within a maybe 6" of it but would never actually go in.. until i coaxed the bta to move with down to the spot where the clown slept.. overnight the clown started playing in the nem and they are inseperable now.. the anemone has since moved back to its starting spot and the clown followed.

My avatar is an RBTA hosting my picasso's, and at one point they had 4 or 5 BTA's and traveled them all.
My only issue was they did start to lose their black color, something I had read about but didn't really believe until I saw it happen.
Removed BTA's and color came back, and I have photo docs of this as well.
 
Weird it seems. People had me convinced I should trade the clowns for other ones that are compatible. But here are my clowns playing in the Nem!!

I have had this Nem for 4 days and the clowns seem to love it already!!

Oh I am sure it helps that I kind of lured them into it. Every time I fed the fish I lured the clowns to the Nem and squirted food out close to it. This made the clowns almost touch it and maybe see that it was there (They never even looked at it before this) They even went into the nem and stole its food!! I did this three times and they started coming back every now and then and looking at it, until they just started playing in it! I also put up a pic of a clown in a nem on the glass not sure if that helped or not. Also, I am pretty sure they are tank bred, but I could be wrong because they were the only two in the tank when I bought them.
