What clownfish species have you noticed stay in the anemone the most?

The ones that figure how to home them - and then you can never get the little jerks out of there...

Yep. Once my Snowflakes figured it out, they never come out of the anemones.

Maroons in my opinion, but they can get big and mean

I cant get my occelaris to host to save my life. But i got a clarkii and BOOM, right in. Wondering if the issue is the wild caught vs captive bred debate.

My percula clowns care nothing for my bta. I bought an lta (now hiding) and they beat the crud out of it.

There is a lust of which clowns like what anemones. Some individuals just don't care.

My Snowflakes were captive bred. They are just over a year old now. I added them to the tank before any anemones and, once I added the first BTA, it took them a few months to figure it out (an in a 10g tank no less). But once they did... it was on!

I have a local buddy who is breeding clowns now. He has BTAs in the growout tank with the babies, and they are playing in them before they even hit an inch long. It's a novel idea, but his clowns go to their new homes looking for anemones. It's pretty cool, actually.
