Weening true perc from torch coral

[AC-WEB]

I have finally purchased my first beautiful rose bubble tip anemone. I moved my torch coral which held a prime spot in the middle left of my tank, which was being hosted my perc, to the right and placed my new RBTA in the spot the torch had. Unfortunatly, my true perc followed the torch coral (which has also been fraying his fins) and he hasnt even sniffed the RBTA. Any ideas on how to ween the perc from the torch and entice him to the RBTA?

My true perc pair (who have hosted the same nem for 5 years) have abandoned it to live in a Duncan.

There are 3 healthy nems of completely different sorts in the tank.

And they are in a freaking 4 head Duncan colony.

Let me know if you figure out a way to reason with yours.

SUCCESS! I was able to ween my perc off my torch and onto my RBTA. The way I did it was by using a small plastic seperation container that I bought from petco that I used to seperate a royal gramma that was being beat up a while back. I took the torch out of his spot and put him in the container that had him floating around the tank. The perc after spending time looking for him, bumped into the RBTA and liked what he felt. He started rubbing and getting between the tentacles. I will leave the torch in the container over night so the perc and RBTA get "better aquainted." I'll put the torch back in his spot in the morning.:celeb1:
