False Percula & BTA

[Tom K]

I have 2 false Percula clowns and a BTA. I bought them about a month ago, they are all doing great. I was hoping the clowns would host the BTA, but they have no interest, and don't even go near it. Is there anything I can do to encourage the clowns to host the BTA????

I tried the picture method and finally they hosted my xenia but not my BTA. When they are ready they will host something.

catch them and put them in a container with the bta for a few day's. might take less time

My clowns host the xenia too. In my old tank it would host the toadstool.

my maroon clown didnt host my haitian pink tip anemone for 6 months, and then one day he did

No.

there is nothing you can do. Just sit back and wait patiently.

In normal circumstances they seek protection from predators in anenomes, my saddleback didnt start hosting until a striped damsel kept chasing him around and thats when the clown found host
