True Percs vs other clowns

[Jay Fortay]

I'm going through the same thing now to try to get my small ocellaris to host in a BTA. they have been together for about 5 days now. I have started turning off the pumps and only feeding above the BTA. I heard that this may help. She is getting closer to it now, but just teasing me I hope it happens soon. My fiance really wants to observe the sybiosis. I could really care less.

i have a captive pair of black percs for over 1year and they wont host in any one of my anemones.i recenctley added a wild pair percs and they hosted in a heteractis crispa within 1 minute,so wether the wild ones have a natural instinct to host is anybodys guess.derek
