My two bits- I have pink skunk clowns that went right into my BTA. The ocellaris wasn't interested.

Wow... lot's of info! Sounds like you may have gotten lucky with you Ocellaris' there Gary. This gives me a lot to read up on (on top of my already growing list). Anyone have any inputs about Tomatos, or Maroons?

I might be getting rid of these clowns along with 2 BTA's if I can get my hands on a pair of gold stripe maroon clowns.

Both of these are better if you want them to host in a BTA. The Maroon naturally hosts with BTA's. Ocellaris are another story. Even after a couple of months mine host with a large closed brain, and sleep in a Candycane. The RBTA is next to the brain, and sometimes touches it. The clowns are not interested To get my percs to host with a RBTA, I took all possible substitute hosts away.

I would watch out for that. The occasional contact may not be so bad, but eventually the BTA can irritate the brain enough to cause tissue recession. Just something I would watch out for, if you find that the brain is not opening as much in the area that it gets contacted by the occasional stray anemone tentacle, then I would move it further away from the brain.
