Am I ready for an anemone yet?

I had a tiny green BTA given to me a few months ago, it has now split into 5 of them and my clowns won't go near any of them. The clowns are captive bred, I don't know if they have a hosting instinct built into them or not.

Put a pic of a clown in an anemone on the side of the tank near where the clowns hang out so the clowns can see the pic. It sounds silly, but it often works. I've never had it not work actually.

Those brown/green button polyps can become quite a nuisance, I would not want them in my tank.

That is so ridiculous that I feel compelled to try it.

[Myka]

You should, it will probably work. But maybe I jinxed you now!

A little over a week later, Nem is eating well and about 3x the size from when purchased. He has stopped moving and picked a spot dead centre (right where I wanted it). The male clown decided he likes the nem a few hours ago, the female seems to be showing more interest now too. Currently the male is cuddled up in the middle of the nem. That was faster than I expected!
