My onyx is currently hosting a torch coral. I recently added a RBTA, so hopefully in the next couple of months she will decide she looks better in the anemone:tongue:

I have a pair of Occ. in my office tank that host a field of zoanthids. My B&W and naked pair at home hosted a torch then moved to a frogspawn. That may change when I move them to the new tank, though. I dont have any nems.

I have a Percula clown and a black Ocellaris clown. They don't seem to want to host anything. I hope they do, sometimes they play around in my green hairy mushroom and torch coral but very rarley.

Single Ocellaris that host in several RBTA's. When I first floated the nem in the bag, he went nuts trying to get to it! Before that it hosted in some antheilia and before that a gonipiora.

Amanda - this is normal for a pair of clowns that are tank bred. Use some tongs or your hands and push them towards the anenome or whatever you want to host them in. They will go right into it and host within a few hours after realizing it is a lot better to have some protection in there, then trying to go through the glass
It worked like a charm for mine.

I think they just don't see it, believe it or not. But once they are coerced to, they will end up using it for protection and realize it is a lot more fun chillin' in there than the corner.
Good luck

yeah they were tank bred by cristos clowns. thanks for the info. i guess now i just need to decide what i want them to host. lol. hummm... could i just put my clowns in an acrylic container in the tank with i want them to host. let them get used to it and then move the piece back where it goes. guessing they would prob. try to stay with it.
my old pair of clowns hosted an enormous ritteri and if i ever moved it they stayed right with it.

My pair of tank raised Onyx percs.
They also spawn all the time but I've never tried to raise the babies.
