So I put a post up a few days ago when I got my first nem, it's doing absolutely fantastic, has all its bulbs, and only moved an inch to the left of where I put it and wanted it to be.

I know it takes time for clowns to possibly host nems, but my feamale keeps sitting underneath the tenticals if that makes sense? It's like she's checking it out but scared to go in. She occasionally touches the tenticals with her tail fin. She hasn't explored in to it yet and the male doesn't seem interested but if she goes in he will too. I'm just wondering if because she's getting closer to it each day, and swimming at the fleshy side of it is there a strong possibility she will host? They are tank bred clowns about 1.5-2 years old so still young, she does seem interested in what's in her territory tho

Thanks, ye she just lightly touches it every so often, I haven't seen her "taste" it yet.

Hopefully in the next month or so they take a tumble in instead of hosting in the back corner behind a rock!
