mind you there young and tank bred so they probably dont have the urges yet..

ya i had this issue with my perculas and i finally put a picture on the glass of two clowns hosting and they took to my torch and hairy mushrooms after that..

tried the picture trick with them, when I put up the picture on the side of the tank, every fish in there moved to the opposite side of the tank and hid...so i tried another picture, smaller, same thing...

I did notice today that I woke up and one of them was inside the newly formed bubble tip, and his fins are all nipped *rolleyes* gonna be one of those days I think...

This is the residence of mine. They have lived in there for over 9yrs. now. Not to mention several different tanks. Its now hidden behind the rock work in my 35g cube. It currently also has a fresh batch of eggs in it as we speak.

mine have hosted in a zoa filled rock for about 2 years, they started out (both clowns) with the black spots, then they faded and i guess they became immune to it!

Sorry for the peeve but: Anemones host clowns, not the other way around. The act of hosting is performed by the anemone (or powerhead, or coral, or whatever). Clownfishes don't "host in" anything. They are hosted by things.

My clowns are hosted by a LTA. I've had frogspawn, leather, and hammer corals act as surrogate hosts as well though never a powerhead.
