It can take a while for a clown to be hosted by an anenome, especially with a captive bred clown.
I'm 8 days in and my Maroon has swum within 2" of the anenome and gone back to his skimmer intake.
I have heard tales of taping pictures of clownfish in anenomes to the glass can help show a clown what to do. Same with playing videos. I have also heard that will make a clownfish quite... Irritated at the 'intruder'.
haha - That's how I plan to sum it up from now on as well.Everything I have ever read or been told about clowns can be summed up as thus: "Clownfish are freaking weird, Yo.". Nothing about what they do or why makes any sense at all.
Apologies for the slight derailment. It's definitely a waiting game when it comes to anenomes and clowns. A friend of mine waited a year before his pair of clowns chose an anenome over a filter intake.
Get clownfish that are already in a nem. Otherwise it most likely never will.
thats not true cuz all clownfish now are tank raised and have most likely never seen oneAlso bta’a are not a favorite nem of choice for clowns.
i stupidly tried to get my maroon clowns to host a Condylactis, but then picked up a BTA on Thursday and my clowns started to host it the next day.I recently picked up a green bta. What are your tips to get my clownfish hosting the anomene?
lol ya ok.. you do realize only certain types of clowns will go in certain types of nems right?thats not true cuz all clownfish now are tank raised and have most likely never seen one
