How to get clowns to host

[krak256]

I have two picassos and a GBTA. how do I entice them to host? Does the flow around the GBTA have to be low? I only as because my GBTA is in the flow line of my vortech, so flow is med/high.

I wouldnt even mid if they hosted my frogspawn...

Have you ever tried Jakarta Xenia?

We have had two sets of completely different clownfish host, and lay eggs within the mass of Jakarta Xenia in our display tank at the store multiple times.

It seems that many people actually have quite the success rate with this.

They will eventually host on their own without enticements.

I have 2 ocel. clowns and a gbta for 1.5 months and haven't hosted yet. she gets close then tuns away

BTAs are not natural host for A. occelaris. Therefore, there is a chance of the clowns rejecting the host nem.
