    Will clowns usually host in a sebae anenome? My brother got one and his perc doesnt seem too interested... should he try a different clown or a different anenome?

    Clowns have been known to host even things like clams, zoa's , just give it time and you may get lucky, he may not even host the anemone at all though, good luck...

    in my 58g my clowns took over 6 months before they decided to host in the anenome, before they they always hung out around the overflow

    in my 24g almost as soon as I added them they were trying to host in my rose bta but the bta will have nothing to do with them, they rub on it and he closes up and kicks them out everytime

    each animal is different, atm my B&W clowns in my nano are hanging around my xenia and go try the anenome out every now and again it seems

    Try attaching a picture of a clown hosting an anemone to the outside of your tank.

    It has worked for a close friend of mine. Also a thread about it here somewhere indicating it has worked for others. What does ROFL stand for?
