FINALLY Ocellaris hosted my GBTA! (PICS)

It's so corny but I'm so psyched one of my BW Ocellaris finally hosted with one of my BTA's. I have 2 pairs of Ocellaris & 3 nems in my tank. The larger pair host a hairy mushroom rock. I got an RBTA that had split recently and a pair of BW Ocellaris in hopes I could get some hosting going on. I had pictures up on the tank, no luck, waited, no luck, none of the clowns had any interest in it.

So, last weekend I saw my LFS had a really nice GBTA, they sold it to me for $10 which was a steal. I apprehensively added it to the tank and it luckily footed itself in a nice area. I woke up this morning and couldn't find one of my BW clowns and thought he had jumped. Then I looked closer and I see the little bugger sleeping in the GBTA, score!

IMO a clown hosting a nem is one of the coolest things about SW keeping, dare I say the mecca of SW keeping. Can't wait to check him out when I get home, I'll def post pics!

 

Corny or not that was your goal, congrats.

 

Congrats!! It sure is exciting and fun to watch!

 

nice!

 

thx ya'll, was funny cause I'm thinking who can I tell, noone but 3reef would understand, hah! Pics to come!

 

Look at this crazy bugger, hehe!

 

That is awesome. Mine hosted to my clams. i took them out of the tank for a week and threw them in my fuge. I figured they would no longer host the clams...I was wrong. I even "threw" the clowns into the nem. Maybe I'll just put them in the fuge for longer next time.

 

Great pics!! How cute!

 

I was thinking.....at my lFS the clowns are almost garunteed to host because they put the clowns in 1 gallon display tank with nothing in the tank but the anenome. I wonder if placing a 1 gallon breeder in my DT with my clown and an anenome will improve tha chance for them to host?

 

i really want my clown to host the LTA nem i got. ive tried pictures. he is always by it just hasnt gone in yet. good job! got any tips?
