Any one have any ideas how to get my clowns to go into my condy anemone? Thanks

clowns don't usually host codys. are your clowns TB? if they are they may not host at all. mine just started hosting and they won't even host my RBTA, they host my duncan.

What is TB? sorry im new to all these abreviations. Anyways they are false purcs and seem to have hosted in my frogspawn. Which does not seem to appreciate that. I wish i could get them to go to the condy. I used to have a cinnamon clown that loved the condy.

Try getting a Ritteri, but I would reccomend a BTA or RBTA because they are MUCH easier and hardy.

Thanks for the help, I will look into the ritteri.

ritteri anemones are one of the hardest anemones to keep, go with a BTA.

I have 3 TB clowns, and they don't host my BTA, they host the frogspawn and the torch.

Thats what mine are doing ie frogspawn. The frog does not like it though.

Don't feel bad. I have a pair of tomatoes that use to love my long tentacle but it died on me to what I assume was a bristle worm. Then one of the tomatoes use to hang out with my Condy. I traded the condy in and got a carpet. The clowns don't even bother with it. Some clowns will only host in some anemones, and some will not host at all. Condys are not a natural host anemone, they are from a region void of clowns. Not only do they react diferrent to clowns, but wild caught clowns are not use to them.
