Ungrateful jerks

[TCseh]

I have an amazing colorado sunburst bta... and my clownfish couldn't care less. Will it burn their retinas if they get close to it since it's so bright?

I am interested in seing what all your clownfish decided to host, or not host. Feel free to post your favorite pictures.

Those are probably captive bred? They tend to be slow to host or may not host at all. Drop a clarkii or maroon in and they host before the day ends :winking-face:

And then watch it eat you like a piranha because they’re *****.

Maroons for sure just because they can. Clarkii not so much, unless they spawning lol

Mine are captive bred and so far they have shown no interest in trying to find a host.

I have 4 BTA anemones and 10 clowns and not one will go near the nems. Not a matter of ungrateful but what what they feel comfortable with even if it means hiding in a corner all day.
Mine go into hairy mushrooms and occasionally toadstools

I don't think I would be able to watch something like that without wanting to pull my hair out.

Lightning Maroons hosts in bubble tips all day long in my lagoon.
Snow Storm hosts in a big orange yumas and completely ignores the CSB in my mixed reef.

Full panic mode earlier today when I took out their Hammer to frag some heads underneath that weren't getting any light.

Took me over two years to get my clowns to host. I eventually gave up and one day came home from work and they were wiggling inside the anemone lol.

My two Percula could care less about RBTA

Some of my clowns would rather be hosted in a powerhead or acropora than a anemone. If you really want a fish to be hosted, skunk clowns are nearly certain.

CB stuff just doesn't know. ...like how my captive bred rabbitfish has no idea how to eat even Ulva or other algaes that wild rabbitfish devour with gusto.

 

[TCseh]

Just one of those days I guess.

I'm trying a new BTA. They seem to just not like something in my tank. finally have my maroon clowns and she is hosting. However, after a few weeks of her hosting, the BTS moved to a spot under a shelf of rocks and doesn't look as well as it did. The clown still stays by the BTA, but it continues to shrink. I thought the hosting clown would help keep him happy. Trying to stay optimistic, but hope I'll not going to lose this one as well. I hear lighting and flow, I also read they they will move to a good spot., but they don't. *sigh* and yes parameters are good. Maybe I'll lower my lighting some? IDK

I have two in my bigger DT that I gave a happy healthy green BTA to! They loved it! Then the female got too rough with it and almost killed the nem! Had to move it back to my other tank and my maroon pair was more than happy to nurse it back to health. Freaking clowns

my occelaris do that. meant to be the most peaceful but the bites on my hand disagrees.
