clownfish hosting

Hi! I've had a pair of frostbite clowns for a few months that came with a significant enough size difference that one would clearly be dominate. The larger one was at least 1.5x the size of the smaller and still is. They're both still juvenile I think. They had slept together and stayed in one...

I got a pair of ocelaris x percula hybrid clownfish. I didn't realize they were a hybrid until after I got them. Does anybody have experience with them hosting bubble tips? The clownfish I got are photon clownfish.

sorry for leaving last post unfinished, everythings seems fine but DKH. im looking foward to buy a clownfish to pair my only fish in 20gal. should i hold off? using reef pro salt 2.5-5 gallon water change per week ,calcium 460 ,KH 14.4 (i've test many times in one day) ,salinity 1.026 ,ph 8-8.3...

Has your clownfish refused every anemone or are you simply tired of removing those cute bubble tips that have a mind of their own? Naturalistic micro habitats for saltwater reef tanks, provide marine aquarists with creative fish safe options, which for example, can eliminate the challenge of...

today my male clownfish took an interest in nuzzling the skimmer, normally they sleep against the back wall but both the male and female pair keep twitching on it. are they trying to host it? i’ve never seen him twitch besides when he is submitting to the female.

Here’s mine making my Plating Monti as its bed.

Hello hobbyists! My young clown has decided to move from the rock corner he was living in to the beloved large walling hammer colony. He’s not being rough with it, but if he smacks his head into a polyp the one polyp will retract a bit. currently the hammer is happy and open. has anyone...

Hi all, Is there by any chance a way I could encourage my pair of clowns to host this Vargas Cespitlaria coral? It’s grown to immense size so I was curious if it was possible. Sorry for the intense blue lighting, thank you!

Hey everybody, I have had saltwater fish only and reed tanks off and on for roughly 10+ years now and clownfish have almost always been apart of every aquarium I’ve had. However, I have never seen or have had clownfish of my own that tried to host zoanthids. Let alone my beautiful Illuminati...

Midnight Clownfish trying to host duncan.

I know that Clownfish in aquariums are known to host with random things, but has anyone confirmed seeing one try to host or even successfully host on a Duncan Coral? I am asking, because my Midnight has been hanging around my Duncan lately and rubbing up against it. This has only been over the...

I thought I tried everything to get my clowns to host the rbta I had purchased months ago, I added them by a tube I enclosed them near the nem I put pictures of a clown in a nem on the tank and I would fall asleep with my computer playing an hour long video of a clown hosting a nem. The point to...

My weird clownfish just started hosting my Duncan coral when I had an anemone already in the tank for one month. Will the hosting stress the coral? Also feel free to tell stories of your clowns being stubborn and hosting your corals:)

Hi! Does anyone know a way to get their clownfish to host an anemone. I’ve had a green bubble tip anemone for about a month now and my two clownfish don’t even get close to it and always stay in the back of the tank. I’ve tried reorganizing my live rock and adding a new fish to make the...

When I purchased my designer clowns (mochas), I was told it would be unlikely for them to have their natural instinct for the mutualistic relationship. Even more so unlikely with RBTAs! However, it’s been 4.5 months, and the male now feeds and sleeps in the BTA! I didn’t use pictures or lasers...

So I have 3 clownfishes, 2 Davinci and one black ice. I have 4 RBTA, which I just got. I put them on the floating box. I caught the 3 clownfish and put them on the box. all 3 of them hosted after couple of hours. after day 2 I released the clowns and the nems in my tank. but its been 3 days now...
