Getting My Clown Fish To Inhabit The Anenome

[lifestyle_not_hobby]

Ok Guys, i have recently purchased a sea anenome (one week ago), and i have 2 cb percula clowns. I had the clowns in there prior and they are not swimming through the anenome at all. Is this normal?

Depends on the anenome.... Some anenomes clowns wont host.....

+1 sometimes the clown won't host. It's normal.

More details will help as well, some clowns like occys and percs will host just about anything eventually, sorry are very particular about which anemones they will squat in. Also what kind of anemone? Some anemones will only host certain clowns...
Like others have said, it may not happen at all... It may take six months... It may happen tonight, you never can tell how long or if at all it will happen

I had a RBTA for a year, I think, and my first false percula clown never went near it.
Then I got another clown who went right into it. After that, the 1st one joined her.

my clowns were hosting a mushroom when I bought them. I have had them a year and they have never hosted in my tank. Its all up to the fish. Like people have said, it may happen tomorrow, it may never happen...

Before we had the rbta the clowns we had hosted a toadstool and took a month to or so to go to the rbta

I've even seen clowns host hammers, torches, and frogspawn.

While fellow HFBoxer was here today. We saw my pair of clowns host duncans, frogspawn and hammer. Pretty cool to see. They have even hosted my chalice. Here they are laying down for the night. "Three's Company"

Maroons tend to be more aggressive than you're normal clown is. Not a good combo with your clowns. Semper has a pretty big tank he is keeping the trio in. Makes agression a little less

I personally probably wont have clowns unless I have a nem. At first mine would only host a leather, but then I got a nem and they started to host it. When I got rid of the nem they started to host my hammers. They are very aggressive hosters and killed one hammer and almost killed the other. Took me a while to figure out why I was loosing my heads of hammers until I realized it was on the corals that they hosted that were dying. As soon as I took them out the corals started looking way better.

I have 3 clown and 13 nem. No hosting yet. Been over a week

Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't...
