anything to host bta?

Ours has hosted in there for 2 month now and is doing Ok.

One day you'll come home and find your clowns hosting in it. Sometimes it takes a little time for them to figure it out.

I have a tomato and a cinnamon clown in gbta and a rbta. The fish found them almost instantly.

We also have 2 percula clowns that went almost instantly to a purple carpet anemone when we put it into our 150g tank. Exactly what I wanted!! Now they never leave it lol. I should have added that these 2 clowns wouldn't go near a rbta...although it is smaller, they wouldn't even check it out.

You could try printing off a picture of a couple clowns hosting in a BTA and tape it to the side of the aquarium. I've heard of that working in some cases.

I tried that without much luck...

I have heard of people trying mirrors (when they swim by it and see "another clown" near it they get territorial). I have also heard of people putting fake clowns near for the same reason.

Sometimes clownfish just won't go in certain anemones. Pictures sometimes work(didn't work for me), but time may be the only thing that gets the clownfish to go in the anemone.

Give it time. It took six months for my clowns to start using my BTA as a host. Even now, they still go back and forth between it and my tiny sebae.

Try an anemone shrimp.
