Congrats, and very nice looking! Did the RBTA move around much after you added it to your tank?
 
Well, todays update is that the anemone was in the same spot all day long and my clown was in it again which was perfect. However, my anemone decided to move again :( and my clown is looking for the nem. It crawled up my rockwork now, its been up then down then back up. i thought it would stay put where it was on the backside of my tank facing foward and with a clown in it! lol i guess not, i'll just wait till the next spot :\
 
I'm sure they will pair back up again soon. Congrats on your success, both are very beautiful!

thanks! I really wish the RBTA would just stay put already! lol

i was just wiping my glass and my clown got scared and was looking for the RBTA... poor thing
 
Wish I had that luck. Had two RBTA for a couple months now and neither of my clowns want to even go near them.

Yours is looking nice though!
 
congradulations just hope my onyx clownfish find my sebea anemone i just put in yesturday for them how long did it take your clown to find the anemone?
 
ThankS! and the RBTA may seem small because that is only the side of it, heres a better perspective to really see wheres she was.

This is where she was, she is now next to the xenia up in that cave .

Honestly, i didnt do anything to force her into the RBTA but after a couple of days she seemed interested in the RBTA, yesterday i happen to have fed the RBTA and after the tank was fed she quickly moved right in and stayed there. so i would say about a week and she moved in.
 
It took my pair of B&W ocellaris 4 to 5 months to move into our rose bubble...so it's just a matter of waiting. And even then, they may never move in.
 
My clowns are 1.5 yrs old now. Got them when they were TINY TINY TINY (like 1/2" long). They're now around 3" for the fem and 2.5" for the male. They seem to like hanging out underneath my large colony of trumpet LPS.

I've had a flower anemone in the tank from day 1 and they have no interest in it (not really the hosting kinda nem though). Added a RBTA about 6 weeks ago and they have no interest yet. Not sure if they ever will. Would be cool, but such is the reef. LOL
 
they say it could take days or even months. becasue if you have an official pair of clownfish; meaning one male and one female already its up to the female clownfish. to find the place where their going to call home. so just be patient and dont force let nature do its thing lol
 
well my RBTA is still on the run and has not settled down, i dont think she looks very good, the mouth is always closed though. at night she usualy will open up, and when the lights come on it closes up and hides. when ever it does decide to open during the day the clown tries to get into it and stresses it i think.
