Jordan,

When putting a BTA and clowns together, I always put the BTA in the tank first so it is established and growing. When I finally introduce the clowns, I do so by hand and release them right by the BTA. I think this gives the clowns a better chance of hosting. Seems to have worked with both the ocellaris pair and their GBTA in the 37g, and the tomato pair and their RBTA. Both pairs of clowns immediately began hosting in their respective BTAs.

The tomato clowns were pretty harsh on each other and the RBTA while they were duking it out for dominance. I was afraid the RBTA would be harmed, but that did not appear to happen.
