how to get tank-raised ocellaris clowns to host?

My ocellaris hosted my open brain for about a week. He also hosted a Glad storage container I was putting frags in for about a week. He has never hosted anything for any length of time. I have 3 BTA's in my tank and doesn't even know they're there. I have a tomato clown that hosts them though.

I saw a post here a while ago about somebody putting a laptop up against the tank and playing YouTube videos of clowns hosting. He said it worked! You can try that.

 

I heard wide caught are less likely to host anything except the exact species of anemone they find in the wild?

 

Mine host 1 of 2 BTA and a corner

 

i took mine back to lfs and they had some already hosting so i just bought the clown and the anemone at the same time. thats the only way to get a sure deal.

 

Hmmm, well given that I've had them for about 8 months now and they are not hosting, I don't think that patience alone will solve the issue. I'll try taping a picture to the tank and I'll let you know if that works.
