How long did this take? My BTA has been in my tank for about a week now and my percula shows no interest. I realize it's not the natural host anemone, but I figure he would accept.

Well, I have a RBTA that I've had in the tank for 2 weeks. They never took to it. I'm sure in time they would, but as soon as I added this LTA they took to it in 24 hours. Go figure!

What kind of anemone is this?

Thats awesome. Its a great feeling when that happens. I got my false percs a small bta about 4 months ago and they wouldnt even look at it other than to nip at it once in awhile, keeping it deflated. I ended up moving the bta to a different location to preserve its life.

Then I bought a fairly large LTA. Not being false percs natural hosts I wasnt sure if they would take to it or not.....NOT!

Then I saw this neon green bta and put it in the same little pocket that the clown hung out in and within a day, the female was in it head first! Now she sleeps in it and is very protective of it. In fat she wont leave the male near it, she chases him out when he gets close to it.

Glad your clown did what they do naturally, they are fun to watch.
