If you're referring to that tank that has 300 clowns in it with text on the tank that says, "Hello, I'm Nemo", those are false perculas (aka, Ocellaris, aka, common clownfish) i believe. That's what I have.

I also have two wonderful Red Bubble tip anemones in my tank that the clowns don't even bat an eye at

Find one that is hosting a nem and yours will learn the trick hosting nems is a learned behavior. This is what I did and not they host a saddle green carpet nem. they get it to bunch up at night and sleep in the flolds at night they don't keep swimming at night which is wierd for a clown they look like they are hwearing scarves. I have not been able to get a pic as when the lights come on they start moving.

you probably think this is retarded but i have heard that printing a picture off of clowns hosting and placing it on the window of the tank for a few weeks usually works i had success with that after mine would not host

Tank 1 - 2 True Perc host in the LTA.
Tank 2 - no Anens. 2 false percs. host in an open brain & at night sleep at the top of the tank in the corner and the pink skunk swims around during the day and don't know were he sleeps.

side note.

Originally when I got the true percs. and later purchased the anen. they were in a 14 biocube. I am sure this is why they have hosted. So following this method, I am sure by placing the percs and anen in a "sick" tank which is usually smaller and has no other options I think you could "force" them to host

My Maroon pair are definitely attached to their BTA. During the day the male hangs out behind the rock which is kind of too bad, he's more colourful than the mama. The second photo is from a while ago, shortly after I got them paired off. Should be easy to tell how much larger the female has grown in the more recent shots.
