Yes, another "Will my clowns take to my Carpet" post

[JustinGr]

I have 3 T/R Ocellaris and just aquired a Carpet, I assume Haddoni, and in the LFS the Ocellaris (not the ones I have) were playing in it.
I have had my clowns for a month and the carpet for a week, but my clowns have no interest. Since they are T/R, I doubt they have a clue, plus I know this is not the preferred host. Am I SOL in hoping they would take to this carpet.

I did the suggestion of taping a pic of a ocellaris playing in a carpet, but so far nothing.

Would getting a wild Ocellaris do the trick or am I asking for drama?

Thanks

Justin

Assuming that it is a S. Haddoni I wouldn't try and force the issue unless you are ready to potentially loose your clowns. Give it time it could be a few weeks, months or never. If you are desperate to have the nem/clown relationship then either switch clowns to that of a natural clown/haddoni combo or trade in the nem for a natural host for Ocellaris. Forcing you clowns into the Haddoni will probably end up in an expensive meal for the nem.
