ocellaris clown hosting BTA

[Ry.Whomp]

Hello! So I've had my pair of clowns for about a year now and got them a BTA about 1.5 months ago. Anyone have any idea how I can help them host? I feel like they don't even notice it. I've tried gently "scaring" them towards it but that ended up with one jumping out of the tank so I'm not gonna do that anymore lol..

Anyone got any tips? The BTA found a great spot for it to plant, so I don't necessarily want to move it to a small container with the clowns, but I guess I'm willing to. Anyway, anyone got tips?

First, semantics - the nem hosts the fish, not the other way around.
Second, just let everything be... You've added some fish and inverts that you like - if they decide to be pals, great! But if not, just enjoy them as they are. We can't impose our will on every creature, lol

play this on the glass facing the clowns for 5-10 minutes each time you go to your tank for a couple of days

It's actually the BTA that hosts the clown not the way you mentioned.
