Flashlight trick works again

[ReeferMan420]

I will try this as well my RBTA is hidden but the clowns host my overflow not that great a place for them.

That's where mine like to host too. And the Power head as well

I figured my bubble tip was to small. Would love if this works for others

 

[blue.flyzz]

+3 on hosting overflow lol

[Eric C]

I wouldn't try that....would probably kill the torch

I'll try this too. I have a pair of black ice clowns and two rbta. They refuse to host to it. I was told because they are captive breed they don't have the instinct to go in them. I'll give it a shot and let you know.

My thought would be that they have little to no fear of predators, having never seen one and having been born around the next-scariest (people), so they don't feel as much need to hide out.

I suggested that to liquid360 last year and it work for him to really neat trick. It works when all else fells.

Do u use the flashlight with moonlights or is your tank completely dark when you do this because I want my clowns to host my anemone too and the hanging pictures on the tank doesn't work for me I tried for a whole month

 

[alexingalls09]

Well I gave it a shot and it worked with 1 of my clowns...sad thing is my anemone tried to eat him darn thing...I pulled my clown off the anemone and he is stung quite a bit so hopefully he will recover

What type of anemone was this?

 

[ohio reefer]

Do you just shine the flashlight beam on the BTA until the clowns find it then turn it off?

I make them chase it a little, and then point towards the anemone. I then repeat this another 1 or 2 times.

 

[ohio reefer]

awesome!
whats the time frame does this usually work the first time?
how long do you usually wait?

This usually works for me within 30 seconds.

Does this work for true Percs and RBTA's?

It worked for my percs (onxy and Picasso) and a orange tip bubble tip so I assume it would work.

 

[redtop03]

I have an awsome rose tip that my clowns wont touch for aboout 8 months now. I will try this tonight

any update ?

Haddoni carpet

i tried it twice, didnt work for me once at 1030pm and again at 5am, it was like they didnt even see it

Do you think a laser would work also? I'll give it a try ! I have a darwin and rbta I want to pair

I assume so but I wouldn't try it personally. I've used lasers to kill aptasia, which is a small pest anemone, so I can easily see it having negative effects on a larger anemone as well.
