stupid clownfish

[evilskudd]

My clowns are hosting a colony of palys I have... Why would they he doing this when my gbta is not 6 inches away in direct line of sight? What could i do to get yhrm out of the palys and into the nem?

YOu can try to bribe them Maybe ask them nicely to move over??

Not much you can really do. Maybe take the palys and move them. BUt they may follow..

If you have a fuge with descent lighting put the palys in there for a while and see if the clowns switch

dont feel like your clowns are that stupid...at least they hosting something lol

i have a pair that sleep in the sand and dont wanna host my anemone for nothing...i know it gets fustrating because they would look gorgeous hosting it..but i guess whenever they feel like it they will go

MAYBE. There are plenty of members on here that have clowns that have never hosted in available nems.

They have minds of their own. Good luck getting them to host. Hopefully they will for you eventually.

Have you tried always feeding near the nem? Maybe get them to rub against it and edge them towards wanting to host?

Mine host a forest of Xenias on the opposite side of the tank that the anem is. A friend got 1 of his clowns to host his anemone just by guiding him with his hand and he stayed. I guess it can be as easy as that.

I feed my clowns flake food, and at least three times a week ill put a little bit of the flakes in the nem and they will ignore the food until it either falls off the tenticles or my cleaner shrimp raids the nem, but the reason i call them stupid , which i didnt include earlier is I have a l.t.a also which they bite the tips off of, but won't host

I would try feeding them something more enticing. Turn the pumps off and maybe try some garlic soaked mysis. If they go bonkers over it may e they'll host.

Again they have a mind of their own. Hopefully you're will host for you. It is nice to watch.
