    We just got this little guy last Thursday, and by Sunday he still would have nothing to do with the LTA. Sunday night I taped a picture of a clown in an anemone on the glass right in front of the anemone, and it immediately caught his attention. Up until then he never even got close to the anemone, but the picture at least got his attention enough he was constantly swimming down there to check it out. First thing this morning I see that he's settled in nicely with the LTA! BTW, this fish had never seen an anemone in his life....soooo....was it the picture that helped??? We'll never know!

    HA! Awsome, I never thought of doing that. He got jealous of the other fish...funny stuff. Congrats, I remember how awsome it was when my clowns took to the anemone.

    That's how I got my clowns to nest in a BTA :)

    Cool! I remember reading somewhere about some else trying that, maybe it was you? I think it worked, but even if it wasn't that, I'd still do it again!
