My 2 month old Ocellaris clutch!

Well I set up my old 12G nanocube to house a dozen baby ocellaris clowns in the hope that I could train them to host RBTA's. Heres the details/pics:

I'm of the opinion that they don't need to be trained...it's a natural behavior for them to host something.

Were you trying this based on the rumor that CB clowns can't host anemones?

Well I was basing it on the fact that Ocellaris and Perculas don't often naturally host Entamacea quadricolor anemones in the wild. However, these anemones are the easiest to keep and propagate in captivity (people always have extra clones near me) so it was in my best interest to see if they would--especially since I'd rather stay away from carpets since they eat other fish, etc..

Don't often? They don't ever hose e. quadricolor anemones in the wild. But in a captive environment they will host 90% of the time ime.

well thats what I figured, but I wanted to err on the side of caution before making a blanket statement haha. There might be one case out there.
