    Added two naked ocellaris and green bubble tip on 12/7/13, and first noticed the larger ocellaris in the anemone on the 12/30 but when I went to get a photo he bailed. Woke up this morning and he was in it and didn't really care that I was near the tank.. Really stoked as I set this tank up to be my clown/ anemone tank, and knew it was possible but was expecting to have to wait longer due to my b/w ocellaris didn't go into their anemone in my 57g for almost 7 months

    Well congratulations, it's a fascinating relationship and relaxing to watch. My black and whites never took to an anemone.

    Thanks! I originally wanted black ice clowns, but since it's my "girlfriends" tank I let her pick them out.... Wasn't too crazy about them at first but they are growing on me.... I've been watching the same clown eye my rose bubble as well which is a few inches away from the green bubble tip so I'm happy about that. The smaller clown hasn't shown any interest which is fine with me as the anemones would be way to small to host 2 clowns...

    Checked on my tank this morning before work and found the smaller clown in the rose bubble tip.
