    just cause you have an anemone in there doesnt mean the clown will host it. clown might take a liking to another coral you have in the tank..

    I tried it a few years ago and i think it worked. Not 100 percent though because the response was not immediate. The clowns may have just needed the extra week to figure out what they wanted. Clowns are unpredictable and you can really never what or when they will host

    My new platinum percs would not host my BTA this last week. My misbar died this morning after his battle with ich, and my platinums moved right into the BTA. Odd stuff, I feel bad for the misbar, he was a Petco fish that I tried to rescue. :(
