any ways to make clown attracted to host?

[pinocchio]

any ways?

got a white tip bubble anemone(i think tt's what it is) and a true pec..

im convinced that the clown has made the rainbar column his home.. forever hanging around there. the anemone is just below a little "cliff" so this clown cant see 'wonderland' unless he venture out somemore... shucks.

any ideas?

what if i catch the anemone and the clown and put in the small small tank for a while?

just wanna grab some ideas...

I was thinking about that too. Before introducing the clown, put the clown and the anemone in a betta box. After they stay together, then release them into the tank. The challenge will be, once your anemone attach itself to the betta box, how do you remove it.

I was told that not all clown like anemone...especially so for the true percula.

Bubble tip (Entacmaea quadricolor) cannot be used to host percula.

Percula prefer these:

Heteractis crispa; H. magnifica and Stichodactyla gigantea.

my percula loves the purple tip anemone.

u might wanna try that

i've also seen quite some people using rose bta will lots of success with perculas.

seems like rose isn't humans only favourite...hehe.

rose = red bubble tip?

if that is the case, my true perc doesn't even swim within a certain radius of it. *mutters*

[shoelevy]

well...amybe take abit of luck too

if i'm not mistaken i've seen 2 tanks with paired clownfishes playing with the rose bta.

one is a pair of false while the other is a pair of percula clowns

ok guess i will go find a rose tip anemone and find another pair of clowns or sth..

but will the current clown(whose home is the rainbar column.. ) go disturb and attack the other clowns? I've read abt them being terrorital..

also, i dont know if something is wrong with my no3 reading... but it seems very stable.(AZOO) i change my water once every 2 weeks... but the no3 reading is lways low..

is there something tt's making the no3 level low?

current tank(2 by 1 by 1) inside got...

2 snails

1 anemone

1 cleaner shrimp

1 clown

1 foxface

algae is on the LR.. but the snails r busy clearing them. foxy is helping also..

using prizm skimmer and canister(coral chips, aqua clay, carbon, rowphos,polyfilter)

anyone can offer suggestions or help?
