my clowns hosted my RBTA the very first day i got it! they love it, It can take some time for them to host, i heard if u put a picture up of a clown hosting an anemone it might help.

I have a pair of Gold Stripe Maroons who are hosting a GBTA in my SPS tank, they'll steal food from the tangs just to feed the anemone, sure is cool to watch. I have never tried the picture thing, I have yet to own a Clown who wouldn't host something.

found this on another site... also talks about using pictures of clowns hosting. hope that helps.
http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/...lown-fish.html (script from the tread) personaly i have never had any luck with this till today. earilier this week i got a rbta and today i found a percula clown that had a partilly missing stripe, so i got him, hes cool. got em home and wanted him to host to the rbta. right? not to much to ask. so i cut the bottom of a 2 liter bottle off, placed it over the rbta with the clown in there to, no later than 30 seconds pass and hes in there. just to make sure i left the bottle on the for about ten minutes. now hours have gone by and hes still in there....so sweeeeeet

My clown wouldn't even swim away from her corner of the tank until I added a second clown to pair up with. The hosting behaviour of the male clown was stronger and brought the other one to give in and move into the elegance

I did the picture thing with 2 different clowns in 2 different tanks and somehow it worked! Yes, it can take time for a clown to host the anemone but try the picture thing and see it it works! Good luck!
