After 2 years of hanging out by the corner of your tank, your clownfish find your anemone.

Too funny, clown fish can be so weird I had some that stayed in the back of my corner bow front and just swam up and down, it drove me crazy! lol
Nice picture by the way.

I also saw the male feed the nem a large price of shrimp during feeding time. That was really cool to see.

Great picture! I am officially jealous!

I have had my clowns for 5+ years, and my nem for only a few months, so I think mine just never learned what a new was... They briefly used to hang out in a large hammer, but then they just decided they were done with the whole symbiotic thing...

After mine started hanging out in the corner, (before I had a nem), I found a fake one in a pet store so I stuck it their corner and they loved it. After I got the nem I took it out the fake one hoping they would gravitate to the nem, but no.. they stayed in the corner looking sad so I put the fake one back in. That was about a year and a half ago. This last weekend my 10 year old son started yelling..."dad! Come look at your tank" I thought for sure some disaster was happening.. Haha.... But I must be raising my kid right because he knew the clownfish in the anemone was something special!

Nice photo! BTA is not a natural host for Occelaris so it's 50:50 at best. My pair always turned their noses up at BTAs, but took about 10 seconds to find a Magnifica.
