Perc not hosting RBTA when is time to part ways

[MelloW33]

I was telling him not to give up on his clownfish, especially if they were juveniles. You never know what they will or won't do down the road.

There is no misinformation to correct in that.

I purchased a Rose bubble tip anemone 3 months ago I had a percula clown already in the tank prior to addind the Nem he goes to it swims around occasionally but never host off it. Now I know percs aren't the natural host but I heard over time they take Nem and call it home I purchased a tomato clown because I was discouraged and wanted a clown to host the Nem so bad at my local FS he hosted within 5 minutes however never left the Nem and died after a week. So my question is do I keep my perc and and hope for one day for him to host or part ways and get something different I know maroons and tomatoes host fast but im woried about the aggressive nature and adding future fish

Thanks guys

I think the conclusion is that the clowns will do whatever they want to do, on their own timeline.

my snow onyx have been in their tank for a bit over 4 months. Today for the first time we saw one of the pair using the RBTA as a host, in fact as I look over at the tank he/she (still not sure they're pretty close in size) is sleeping in it.. the other one? Still uses the hammer.

I feel bad for the hammer lol. Pictures here
