    I posted back in December for possible suggestions to have my ocellaris clowns (orange & black) get interested in my bubble tip anemone. After 3+ months, my orange clown has finally started to swim into the anemone. The black clown lags behind sort of wondering what the orange one is doing & hoping that one day I will find them both in it. Although my cleaner shrimp doesn't like that the anemone is hosting the clown. Many times I have found the shrimp hanging upside down from my orange clown.

    Pics or it didn't happen!!! Jk lol. I'm glad they took to the nem. Did you try any tips? If so which ones? I don't even know how long I have had my anemone and the clowns still haven't taken to it.

    Vinny, where's Vinny? This thread finally has the nem hosting the clowns! (to OP sorry its a bit of a running joke on here about who hosts who, usually we see clowns host the nem, you get it right :)).

    And congrats, that is one of the reasons I got into the hobby! I agree some pics would be nice.
