clown hosting question...

[gsechen]

I got a pair of black ocelleris and the male just started hosting my rbta. The thing is my female doesn't even go near it! and she still sleeps against the back wall of the tank. I was wondering if the female will eventually kick the small male out of the rbta and start hosting it or will it just stay away from the rbta?

what do you guys think from your past observances for clownfish behavior?

I have a small tank and hence no anemone, but my onyx clowns host a torch coral now. My male was in it a good 2 weeks before the female even looked at it. Then one day he convinced her to check it out and they haven't left it since. So who knows....

She'll dive in the anemone when she's ready.
