clowns to host bta

[twiggyb]

I know it's not a natural host for ocellaris,but is there any tips or tricks to get them to host?

Put them in a tank together and hope.

Mine would never host anything except a flower pot.

They're both in there already, I just was wondering if I can get them to go in there.

I've heard that if you put them in a more confined environment like a bucket for a day or so so that the Anemone gets used to the stingers that they will start hosting in there.

Thats also a good way to kill one or the other. Moving clowns/nems just to get them to host is likely going to stress them out more than anything.

There are hundreds of threads on this topic and the consensus is generally the same: clowns will do what clowns want to do. Might be a second, minuted, day, month or never... they will host when they want to.
