My anemones dont host my clownfish anymore, why?

[Zeyko]

I have a haitian anemone, when I placed the fist time, the anemone host the clown, but now, my clownfish dont want to swim on the anemone, whats going on?

Condy Anemones are not a natural host for clowns. There have been a few individuals that have had clowns be hosted but that is more uncommon then common.

im no expert, but i know that condy dont usually host clowns,but some get lucky. some have the condys eat the clowns. i know what trick you are talking about but i have never tried it nor do i know if it works. i was told you can starve the clowns for 3 days and feed them right on top of the condy and swimming through the anemone MIGHT stimulate the clowns...but like i said not sure accurate it is

Depending on what type of clownfish they are they may be more or less likely to host a condy. Although clownfish don't naturally host the condy anemone all bets are off in a tank environment. Clownfish are kind of silly though. They may swim around another part of the tank and come back to it at some point down the line. Maybe they're just bored of it!

There are only 10 host anemones known. I don't believe that your's is one. There is a good reference as to what you need listed here in this catagory.
