Want your clowns to host and anemone? Take a picture!

[Emerald525]

I was on another forum and found this very interesting. Are you frustrated that your clown won't host your anemone?(scratch) I know the first 2 clowns we had never would. They would get close and then no!DOH!

 

That's one of the best things about clowns is when they host an anemone.

 

Apparently if you paste a picture on your tank of a clown hosting an anemone next to your anemone it will get the clowns to host.(nutty) I have never heard of this but people say it does work. Would like to know if anyone has tried this.(laugh)

 

Really, I'm not making this up!(nutty) Here's the link:

For those who have black and white ocellaris and rbta here's my contribution:

I've also heard you can use a veggie clip that looks like a clown fish. I tried all of those with my Clarkii's only to find out that they wouldn't host the type of nem I had...lol

 

Now by saddlebacks host my long tentacle though. It's great!

ok, ill try it! I need a percula clown and a GBTA!

My saddlebacks wont touch a long tentacle. But I gave them a RBTA and they jumped right into it. So now I have two nems in a tank.

Wierd?? Mine are loving the long tentacle. They actually get really defensive if it starts to move and cause the nem to float around the tank once in awhile.....DOH!

 

I've only had them for a little over a month now so we will see but so far so good.
