I have been trying to get my 2 ocel clownfish to pick a host in my 55gal. I have had the clownfish for about a month and have several corals i thought they might host in- toadstool, white xenia, frogspawn, leather. It appears that they have chosen my cleaning magnet I had left in there on accident. I tried placing the corals near where they hang out, feeding them near the corals, and tried taping a pic of a clownfish in a coral to the tank. Does anyone have any other tips or tricks? I thought about removing the magnet and maybe moving around the things in the area where they hang out (HOB filter, powerheads, etc) so they are forced to find a new place, but would that stress them out?

the clownfish will choose where it wants to be, other than using a natual host anemone for the specific type of clown you have there really isn't much you can do but cross your fingers and wait.
