New BTA question about hosting with picture.

Anemone is about 8-9". Has only been in my tank for two days. Tonight I noticed one clown is in the Anenome and the other hiding out else where. The clowns have always hung out together. Will the other one join? The clown have been together for about two years. Thanks

Clown when they were smaller.

I think the more Dom clown (the female) kicks out the male.. My new clown pair is like that... But I'm a newb..... Just my experience

You are correct. The dominant clown(female) will usually run the male out of the nem for a time being but as time goes on she should allow him to come into it, Though I have saw pairs where the female is in the nem and the male was allowed to stay close but not come in

Nice clowns by the way!

She's just reminding him who's boss. Eventually, she'll invite him in. I had a pair of saddlebacks that had a rocky on-again-off-again relationship like that. He would be banished from their anemone occasionally, but would always sneak back in.
