I bot a couple of skunk clown yesterday. they have not gone into the long tentacle anemone yet. does anyone know how long it is going to take for them to do that, or are they ever going to go in?
thanks

Its a waiting game basically... the clowns will pretty much host what they want, when they want.. you can't force them or anything like that. You could possibly try to get them to notice the anemone though, by feeding the fish right by the anemone.... feed the anemone.. etc...

thanks for your help. they just swim right above the anemone, instead of going in there. i will wait.

Skunk Clowns probably don't host naturally with LTA's, and may not see them as a potential host. . However, if given time they probably will.

Good stuff! It's all a matter of time... I find that all's it takes is something to catch the clowns eyes.. getting them to notice what it REALLY is...

Glad they are hosting for you.. fun to watch.
