Cultured clownfish

[ifwisheswerefishes]

Does anyone have any Cultured clownfish that have only taken to a power head or corner of the tank vs an actual BTA or other coral? Anyone who had a cultured clown host corals normally? My first pair of cultured clowns did not act normal in any way. They grew normally and were not bullied and had plenty of space in a 125 gallon with 80lbs of live rock and corals and chose my Vortech mp 40 to call home. They were a Picasso and a Snowflake. My last pair in the same tank years ago same set up were ocean caught and behaved like normal clownfish should. Hosting a coral, taking care of it and being territorial.
I am looking to purchase another pair of clownfish and would like to know others experiences. I like the idea of cultured fish, but if they don’t behave normally, that is not what I am looking for.
Thoughts please and thank you.

All my clowns have been captive bred. Each one has behaved in what you call natural except my percs. My saddlebacks, blackfoot and clarkiis have always been the quickest to find a host though.

Thank you for the info! The Percs were my issue.

Both my maroons are captive bred. Took each about two days to host in a BTA. Depends really on the specific clown species and having its natural host anemone species in the tank.

I have captive bred snowflakes. They host a power head and a scoly even though I have a massive RBTA
