I woke up this morning an my green BTA had moved across the tank to the side my clowns sleep on. I'm hoping they just naturally get together before I have to resort to tricks, lol. They are side by side right now so I'm hoping for the best in the coming days..

Try the video or photograph method @fishrambo I know it seems silly, but I have read probably a million success stories using that method. I generally tend to pair clowns with their natural hosts, so I don't generally have this issue, but if I were trying to get a Davinici or something to host a BTA you'd better betcha I would have nem and clown photos taped to my tank like I did with Pamela Anderson when I was....wait....well you get the point. Try the photos or video.

I was lucky. I put my rbta about 6 inches from where my O. clowns would hang out. The nem never moved, and 2 weeks later both were wiggling around in it.
Mine are about 4-6 inches away from mine right now.. have been all day. I'm hoping they get it figured out naturally soon. If not then I may try a few of the tricks. [emoji120]

yeah buddy, the first time I heard of somebody doing that I was like "come on that's ridiculous and anecdotal and coincidental at best." Then more and more folks tried it and slowly but surely the clown pron provided more and more success stories. I may be stubborn, but not stubborn enough that I'm unwilling to change my mindset when presented with plausible evidence.

Also FWIW if you can get the Nem to host them before the move it will make the move easier for both parties involved.
