IME clowns will host whatever they feel like. Mine has hosted in my GSP, green hairy mushrooms and frogspawn. He was in my small GBTA for a little bit but then moved into the frogsawn (I think because the GBTA is still pretty small). My clown also hosted nothing for the first 6 weeks in the tank. Be patient he will host when he wants to. But if this is the anemone you have it doesn't sound like it's hostable anyway.

let the anemone settle down a bit and get confortable. Usually it only moves if it is not happy with the water lighting etc. also, it should be neon green throughout not white. Just feed it and let it find its own groove.

Mike's right. They'll host from anything to Featherdusters to Anemones.

Personally, I think it's really cute and interesting to look at, but they also get very territorial when your hand is in the tank. I could use without the harrassment and biting of my hand when I'm close to their brain coral trying to do some maintenance.

Default Thanx 4 the advice

Thanx all. I guess this is just part of the hobby. Just because I want my clown to host in the Anenome doesn't mean he wants to.

I don't think it was doing very well for a while but has perked up in the last week, the tips are going more and more neon green but I didn't know that it wasn't supposed to be really white and the bottom portions of the tenticles are white. Seems to be eating alot but I'm only feeding every 3 days?? Is this enough?? I'm feeding about a 1/4 cube of mysis each feeding.

Thanx
Jenn

Maybe a little too frequent..... I am not sure; I personally feed both of mine every week, sometimes longer. They seem to be happy and are both big
10+" I just feed mine with store bought shrimp that has been vitamin infused.

I had my clown for nearly 2 years before he decided to move into my carpet anemone. Just be patient.
