pink tip anemone and clownfish

[Trippy]

I have a pair of P.clownfish....I also recently purchased a pink tip anemone, which wasnt doing well...but now...is doing great, got all its color back...my clownfish have a home...a giant clam shell....they are still young right now...less than 2 years old...is it a possiblility to take the shell away and see if they will take to the pink tip? Or should i just leave it alone....?

Thanks

You could take it away to encourage them to find alternate host. However, percula's natural host is actually carpet anemone. But, with time, it is possible they will take other anemone as their host.

Agreed, just be patient and they'll eventually switch to the anemone.
