Percula clowns and LTAs

[canes52]

I just bought a long tentacle anemone and a few days later I bought a pair of percula clowns and I was just wondering how long does it take for the clowns to get used to it? and actually go into the anemone?

It could take a few minutes it could take months.....You have to be patient...

Or, it may never happen at all. It sometimes takes some time for tank raised percs to figure out the anemone host concept. :lol:

LTA's are not their natural host, so it could take a very long time. It took my CB pair of ocellaris over a year to start utilizing the two LTA's they lived with as hosts. They may be in it in the next ten minutes though.
