    I had a BTA for 2 months with 2 tank raised ocellaris clownfish, and they never hosted it.
    I tried putting pictures of clowns in anemones up against the tank too, and that didn't seem to work either. Maybe give them more time. They may or may not host it.

    Hi,

    I have two black and white tank bread clowns and they have only just started to cotton on what the anemone is all about!

    Took them three months to get it but got there in the end!

    I have tried the picture as i have heard of people who swear by it, my clowns were just scared of the other fish in their domain!

    Give it time and it will happen!

    Levi.

    they may they may not it just takes time. id would say they eventually go to it. my TR perculas are trying to host in a condy but i dont know if they will or not though because its not one that they typically host. they swim right around just out of reach of the tenticles, then when it closes up they rub against the base
