Hosting Bubble Tip Anemone?

[timjoemak]

Hey guys me again, after the demise of my two clownfishes, I took up courage to purchase two more clownfishes but this time it was a different pair, the larger ocellaris being an orange wild caught one whereas the slightly smaller clown being a black and white ocellaris. They are getting along really fine, which I hope they would pair up soon. They swim together and seems to be no arguments whatsoever.

Anyway, being wildcaught what's the possibility of both the clowns hosting my current bubble tip anemone? The orange ocellaris constantly stares at the anemone but does not go in. Is this normal? Or should I take some things into consideration? Thanks.

Tim

Give it time. It can take months for clownfish to adopt a host, and some never do at all. It's a myth that WC clownfish are more likely to adopt an anemone host. Just enjoy them for themselves--being hosted by an anemone is a bonus.
