Tomoto Clown in Bubble Coral (not Anemone)

[gravedigger2step]

I recently purchased a pair of tomato clowns and a sebae anemone (of which one of the tomatos was already playing in at the store). When i got home, i acclimated and placed all in the tank. Everyone is doing well, however, the tomatos seem to just ignore the sebae. The male tomato seems to be hosting in my bubble coral, I think thats what its called. Its been about 2 weeks and still the clowns pay no attention to the sebae and just hang near the bubble coral (not anenome)... is this ok? Is there anything I should know? Anything I should do? or is this perfectly fine and there is nothing i have to worry about.

It is not unusual for a pair to have a couple hosts As long as the bubble coral is not closing up due to irritation and you have provided enough light in a suitable environment for the anemone, you should be fine. Just give them more time

Ya, clownfish do this all the time. They might eventually find the sebae again and adopt it as a host. But there is also a possibility that they'll stick with the coral from now on. Nothing you can really do about it except maybe remove the bubble for a while and hope the clowns find the "right" home.
