Ocellaris clowns not hosting with RBTA

[Alfredo De La Fe]

I have a nice pair of Ocellaris clowns and they are ignoring a small red bubble tip anemone I put in the tank for them... They just keep swimming all around the tank together... Any ideas on how I can get them to make the RBTA home? I was under the impression that RBTA's were an idea home for these guys as well as true percs.

The large one is about 2.5 inches and the small one is about 2 inches.

Yeah, but my flame angel is starting to go after the clowns... It has been hit or miss, it harassed them last night and today left them alone.

It's never a guarantee ever. You can try turning off all flow in the tank and feeding right near the nem. If one of them brush against it it could get that one to realize and then he/she would show the other.

Actually for true percs a heteractis magnifica is the ideal nem supposedly but my old pair loved my RBTA.

What honestly works for me every time is take the bubble out and put into a small bucket ,, then put the clowns in the same bucket ,, in the small bucket , they will 100% go into the bubble ,,, after they have found the bucket , place them back into the dt tank .. They wil never leave that rbta again
