I just wanted to back this statement up.

I've had a true perc clown for over 3 months now and over a week ago I got a RBTA. He couldn't care less about it. He swims in his little corner and never leaves the one side of the tank. So over the weekend I got a black clown from another canreefer and in less than 24 hours he was in the RBTA. It all depends on the individual clown I guess.

I'll post pics soon.

Thanks reefgirl i hope it goes well to I think this one looks way cooler than my first one aswell.

Ryan my tank is 29 gal.

Thanks for your experience Daniella ... That's probly what I'll have to end up doing is selling these two and getting another pair. Will probly give these guys 3-4 weeks and if not then I'll probly sell them or give them to a friend

I have read and heard about putting a pic of a hosting clown near the anemone and sometimes the clowns with catch on to the idea... So I printed one out of the same looking clowns and anemone near it... It's a Long shot but it's werth he effortless try

Heres the size the anemone is at now he's absolutely huge... Does it mater the ratio of size of clown to anemone?

Finally today I woke up and the bigger of the two clowns was hosting ... The little one still hasn't made his way in but I think it might be cause he's to little... I noticed black spots on the big clown for a couple weeks now and looked into it and figured he was trying I host but was to small or not strong enough and was getting bruised from the anemone but now he's sleeping in it so I would only hope that once the little guy gets bigger he'll host aswell

Therefore are taught, tank raised clown do not go through this stage let alone even see an anemone till is sold and in your tank i replicate this by putting a loop video of same breed of clown and same breed of anemone as yours i also have been told by a highly reputable LFS store owner is how he has done it for 10 years and been backed by a professor of icktheology (study of fish) that also confirmed it simulates the natural parenthood and is the best way. It is how he hosted both office and home clowns of his own all those people that laugh are probably ones who need to research more remember you will be laughing with an amazing sight everyday while others have theirs hosting unusual things been proven 5 times by me personally hundreds by LFS owner and a few by university professor hope everyone with a clown starts to do this and hope to hear your results are as good as all of ours

Actually I have heard this works with just a picture taped to the tank.
