Clown and Colorado sunburst bubble tip

[Adam10045]

Is there any special way to make a clown host an anemone? This is the closest he’s been to it and it was for a brief second

If it’s that close, I would leave him alone. He will go in one day

 

[cvrle1]

No, there is no way as clowns will never host an anemone. Anemone however may host clown. As mentioned above leave him be, he may choose to go in one day

Clowns are just weird. Sometimes the anemone will host a clown in a couple of days, other times it can take years. I personally never had luck with my clowns and anemone living together.

One recommendation I have heard is feed the clowns around the anemone

I have seen where people put their clowns in tubes and have one end of the tube out of the aquarium and one in the anemone, where they have to swim into it, but I feel like this is animal cruelty, because clowns have to build up their immunity to the anemone's sting. I would just let them get to know each other.
