What are your fav anemones for clowns?I've never had an issue with my clowns hosting an available anemone. It's got to be my favorite thing about saltwater reef aquariums!
Thats the same problem that I have. I have 2 juvenile clowns and they hardly venture from the upper corner of my 170 which is frustrating .My clowns are refusing to host anything but the upper corner the tank, I wish they would host mine anemone

My clown fish will not get near my anemones.. I wish they would…We're kicking off a week of talking about Anemones and Clownfish so why not talk about them together? There is just something majestic, in my opinion, about the symbiotic relationship between a clownfish and it's anemone home. The swimming in and out, the nestling in at night, the protection they provide one another and more. Let's talk about it!
Do you share the love of a clownfish and anemone relationship and if so why or why not?
Do you have a clownfish and anemone combo in your aquarium?

this guy and gal have anemones to choose from but stay closeto these goni and alveoporas
Between powerhead and return, they treat that like an endless swimming pool. I’m leaning towards the same conjecture, that it’s similar to hosting for them. LFS says aquaculture/breeding has bred out the instinct to host an anemone. I think they they work with what they they have.My 2 clownfish hosted my powerhead for a year then the back left corner for a year. Jelly discovered zoas are fun to play in one day, then a month later Peanut Butter joined him. I thought mine were broken but they turned into real clownfish
I have a dozen or so bubble tip anemones and 3 clowns (clarcksi) and the clowns move around and try to claim different anemones, and seem to dispute over them. I also have 4 white-spot damselfish (dacillus?sp?) and they also hang around and in the anemones but the clowns are more dominant and like to chase them out.I have the watermelon anemones that don't get real big but they reproduce sufficiently in my tank. (I have around 6 of them, just started with one around 2 years ago.) I have 3 clown fish and each clown fish now lives on its own anemone. At times they travel back and forth to check out the occupied anemones. But for the most part they stick to each their own. Then they get all irritated when the anemones close at night.
But the clown fish stay loyal, even if the anemones don't.
What type nems are they?Pennywise started trying to host everything. Frogspawn, goniopora, blasto.. so i got him some anemones. him and his friend rarely ever leave them except to eat. dont judge my corals they just woke up
