i am impatient for clowns to host in sebae

[fishytime]

you could try placing a mirror a little closer to the nem on that side pane of glass where the clowns hang out......and this may sound silly, but Ive read about it working... print off a picture of a clown hosting in a nem and tape that to the side of the tank near the nem.....who knows maybe your clowns will be one of the few that break the rules of engagement...

was considering swapping nem for a nice carpet i saw at the lfs... but might just try adding new clowns to see if the ones i have are defective before i try a new nem as that can be quite an undertaking.

Get some nice designer clownfish black ice are awesome as they are black or very dark at the top and a nice rich reddish orange at the bottom with some nice white pattern. Those are occellaris, as well as the snowflakes and the platinium.

Picasso are percula and they also host a sebea. You were lucky that your nem got better and more healthy because it seemed to be died yellow and bleached at the beginning.

Carpet Anenomes are cold blooded killers, research them before putting one in your tank!

sounds like my kind of anemone!

But i am definitely gonna try new clowns before i consider a new nem, because i am sure that if i switch out the anemone i would end up with a wandering anemone that will attach himself in the worst possible place and swallow up any fish it can snag in its sticky lil trap.

Try the picture trick first before you swap anything , ive heard of a few people who have had sucess with it .

It took mine 6 months before they moved in. Someone told me once to trap the clowns in a 2L pop bottle and place it over the nem, and within a day or two they will stay with in the nem.
I haven't tried this so I can't say if it will work or not.

I've heard of getting a fake clown fish, like the ones that some veggie clips are attached to, and put it in or as close as possible to the nem. This tricks them into going to the nem. Never tried it but heard it works.
