They host in a hammer as well...could be the problem perhaps. I have tried to get them in the anemone but no luck

Thanks

Well it is in a frogspawn in the picture

She shows no interest in your BTA? Its does kinda look like a euphilia(sp?) sting.

I think the proper spelling of it is EUPHYLLIA

Like others said, and you are already doing, feed with vits and garlic....monitor her closely...if the wound or surrounding damage spreads and/or she stops eating, you will need to pull her out and medicate with probably an antibacterial type med.

What have you tried to get her to host the nem?

I have just placed the anemone close to where they are and carefully tried to persuade them with a net towards it....I don't know what else I could do. But I would love to get them to host in it!

Try putting a mirror behind the nem. The theory is she will try and check out the other clown and find the nem.

Believe it or not... this conversation has has re-inspired me to try to introduce them to the nem again.... I moved the rock (temporarily) closer to them ... right under the frogspawn and she has ventured into it... she is now jumping back and forth from one to another...... I will leave it there for a few hours and then move the nem back to the front of the tank.... I really don't want it moving onto the reef. Hopefully they will tag along for the short ride and stay in the digs. If not I will try the mirror trick.

Thanks for the inspiration Doug.....
