    I had the same problem!
    I watched them swim around my tank for months. So I was willing to try anything, so I taped pictures of clowns in their host anemone on all sides of my tank and after about a week they hosted.


    I cannot put my hand anywhere near the anemone without losing a finger though

    Vinny is right as usual! you can't get a clown to host. clowns do host, the get hosted. they either will or they won't plain and simple lol

    Will a single clown take an anemone as its host or only when in pairs?
