trying to get a bubbletip anemone to host a clownfish?

[mfbs1998]

I recently got a rose bubbletip anemone from a local friend of mine and I was wondering on how to get my clownfish to host them. Anybody have any tips on how to do that? Let the clownfish find them naturally or is there another way to do it?

Tape up some pictures of anemones hosting clownfish next to the tank or on the side glass so the fish can see. And yes, I'm being serious. You could also try catching the clowns and then putting them in a large diameter pvc pipe that leads from the surface down to the nem. That way the only way they have to go is to find their way into the nem.

I know it may sound a bit mean. I used a net or whatever you have a baster would work also, to move him towards it. once they touch its normally fish on!

Any luck?
