tom2 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Has anyone tried forcing their clownfish to host an anemone thats never hosted before? What are your experiences? And how did you do it? How old was your clownfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 You can't force a clown to host as far as I know. The best you can do is to get a clownfish that does host and it can teach one that doesn't, but many clowns never host or host odd things (heaters, powerheads, etc.). They aren't the smartest about it. That said, what kind of clown and what type of anemone? There are certain known compatibilities, for example I haven't heard of clowns hosting a condylactis anemone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom2 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Black ice clown fish with sherman rose anemone and rainbow bubble tip anemone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I've heard of people taping a picture of clownfish hosting in an anemone onto the tank facing in so the clownfish can see it. People have reported that this strategy has worked, but I can't say from personal experience. Worth a try though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom2 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 So i tested it, had a normal orange ocellaris clown fish and a black ice, only the orange ocellaris hosted to the clown fish and kicked the black ice clown out. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
