Frogspawn or Clown First?

[waskman]

Does it matter what I add to the tank first, the frogspawn or the clown? I know the clown may not host in it anyway, but does the order of introduction into the tank matter?

Fish before corals. Add your first fish 2 weeks after A,N,N all read 0. Add your first corals when coraline algae appears on the glass. (Good rule of thumb).

that what i did. i put my clown in my tank first then the day i brought the frogspawn home i kinda scare it a bit for it to take shelter inside the frogspawn. it worked

Thats the same thing my friend did he scared his clown with a wodden spoon to get it to the frogspawn. For him it worked like a charm.

Works for anemones too. The clown will resort to instinct real fast if startled.

Yeah until you have a very sticky/deadly stinging anemone and you rush your clowns into it before they can acclimate to it. The nem will have a nice clown fish dinner.
