Picasso Clowns and LTA

[EtxReefer]

Figured I’d post this for anyone struggling to get their clowns to host. I’ve had 2 juvenile Picassos for 3 weeks now and they’ve shown no signs of wanting to be hosted by my large long tentacle(I know this is not their natural host). Last night on a whim I played a loop of clownfish hosting anemones from YouTube right in front of the anemone once the lights went off. Took all of 15 minutes and they hopped right in.

I read that somewhere here that it may work, and still can’t believe that actually worked lol.

I would really like to get a red lta or a Sherman rose bta. Also wouldn’t mind one of the gold variants that grow large like Colorados. Not a huge fan of the small btas that split everywhere. Just not sure where to order as my lfs rarely gets any nice anemones in.
