ok, i have 2 percules clowns. how do i get them to host it?

 

[ocellaris123]

They will decide, some have had success with taping pictures of clowns hosing anemones to the aquarium glass, I have recently gotten my ocellaris to host my bta by shining a flash light on the anemone when the aquarium lights were off (probably just luck but it doesnt hurt to try) but in the end they will decide.

 

[this is me]

First step is to put them in the same tank as the anemone.

BTA is not a natural host for percs so it will be pot luck, may be tomorrow, may be never...you just have to wait it out.

My A. Percs hosted a GBTA within 10 minutes of introducing it in the tank.

I was under the impression that BTA's were a natural host of Percs?

Percs and false Percs are not the same thing.

lol my false percs were being hosted in under a month in my RBTA.... so its hit or miss it sounds like

Percs and false Percs are not the same thing.

BTA's (E. Quadricolor) are not the natural host to either...

False perc's (Ocellaris) natural host's are H. magnifica, S. gigantea and S. mertensii

True perc's natural host's are H. crispa, H. magnifica, S. gigantea, S. mertensii

both can accept and adapt to E. Quadricolor, but its not natural...
