Any tricks on getting clowns to host Anemone's
 

I have heard about the picture to show clowns how to host anemone's is there any other tricks out there?

PATIENCE. it took 9 monthes for my clowns to host.

+1 .. mine took forever as well.

If you can find one of those Clownfish shaped & coloured veggie clips (usually quite inexpensive), try dangling that into the anemone. You haven't mentioned type of clownfish/anemone. That could help solicit additional advice on the forum, since not all clowns/anemone species are natural hosts.

my clowns chose my torch/hairy mushrooms over my BTA.

I had a clown that really liked my trachy...

How long has it been? Some clowns are slower than others....And some will still prefer to host your mag float over any 'nem... lol

If it's been a while (weeks, or more) you can try redecorating a bit and see if they notice it then but this may just p-off your other corals so I would consider that last

It was kind of funny my GSM clown was hosting in a Candy-cane when I added my BTA and she took to it while I was placing it in the tank. Now she tends to six BTA's and still has a rotten attitude. :biggrin:

As odd as it sounds....
 

I have been one of "those" who have printed off a picture and taped it to the glass. (I'll try anything at least once, maybe twice and three times if I had fun)

It actually worked. The clowns-who had been in the tank w/the 'nem for months were hosting in 2 days.

I second that, worked like a charm for me too.
