Will ONYX clown host RBTA?

[Tangwich]

Was wondering if my newly acquired Onyx clown will host in my RBTA. Any ideas from your past experience? Just got the clown yesterday at LFS and put in tank, but hasn't gone into my RBTA as of yet. Thanks

Yes, give them time.

Mine do.

 

[AliKat]

Yep, mine did, too.

Thanks guys, crossing my fingers. I love the contrast in colors.

Ok, here's the update on my Onyx true perc and my RBTA. It is now day 5 since I got my clown in with the RBTA and finally yesterday did he swim real close (within 1/2 inch) of the RBTA. He did this for about 3 hours and came VERY close to going in, but never actually did. Clown watch continues : (

it will happen mine always take a day to a week checking out a host.

mine also go back and fourth from frogspawn to the RBTAs

I think mine is just playing with my emotions and likes watching me get all excited as he gets close to the RBTA, only to swim away and get a good laugh at my expense when I get disappointed....lol..ok, ok, so maybe I'm over reacting here but you know what I mean. lol

Ive once had some perculas(sorry if theyre not onyx) host in a RBTA. But once i come close to the tank they wont host anymore. But when im away and they dont see me they go back into the anmone. Maybe some clowns are just shy.
