    Awesome idea! K+

    Clownfish won't host any anemone. It needs to be the right type. Here is a good reference for which clownfish host which anemone. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/anemoneclownfishprofiles/tp/tpclownanemonematches.htm You also need to make sure your anemone is in good health. Clowns won't host it if it doesn't look good.

    I tried taping pictures to the glass. I never got my ocellaris to host my BTA. After trying for roughly 9 months I gave up and bought a tomato clown. It took about a month for the tomato to start hosting the BTA.

    I used the picture method with my 2 clowns and my 6 head frogspawn. They were in the tank with it for about 2 months and never looked at it twice. After I taped the picture up, they hosted with it within a day or 2. Both tank-raised, one b&w perc, and one occelaris.

    if it is the right anemone for your clownfish, and the picture idea doesnt work, you could pull your clowns and the anemone out and put them in a container together for a little while until they host it then put them back in the tank. I read that somewhere I forget but someone did it and it worked lol
