Perhaps you need to trade for a smaller one

Trading is an option...but I haven't seen another one like this, it has multiple tips on each tentacle, not just one white/pink tip. I'd love to keep it if its fragable, keep one for me and sell trade the other three bits. Will get pics up soon.

My clownfish went into my duncan and after only a few day the coral was in serious decline so I removed it. One of the clownfish then went into the frogspawn and got sting. I could see that it got sting because of his reaction...it was obvious. That fish is ok now but it never returned anywhere near the frogspawn.

They are now in a turbinaria coral and I got a nice anemone for them and they still host that turbinaria. Stupid clownfish!

Did you try putting your anenome where the duncan was? I had other clowns that tried hosting my bubble coral, bought a nem for them but they wouldn't go near it till I moved the bubble to the other side of the tank. Then they took to the nem right away.

I bought a maxi mini nem at the same time as the clowns but didn't realize clowns won't host these. I wasn't planning on adding another nem to the tank, but these are cool.

The clowns aren't going in the frog, just swim really close to it. I have some palys in the same area and one was sitting on them last night. Didn't seem to hurt anything.

The duncan was on the rock and the LTA live in the sand, so no can do, but I did put the duncan in the sand near the anemone and I will see what happen.

I really wish I could move the anemone to that spot but there is no room as there are coral around that would get sting and that is a huge 10" + anemone and it's sand dwelling, not meant to live on the rock.

I hope your clowns find the anenome! I've had 2 sets of clowns that have hosted right away!
