hosting

i recently got a bubble tip and a tomato and i have them in a net tank, is that going to be the best way to get the clown to host in the bubble tip or any better ideas thaks

Typically you want the Anemone to host the Clownfish. Tomato Clowns typically don't require any encouragement to find an Anemone. Has yours been ignoring the Anemone?

not really, ive only had them 3 days and wanted to speed up the process

I suppose that could work but I would be afraid of stressing the clownfish too much and it can't be doing the Anemone much good either.

I agree with Guy. I would leave them alone and let things happen natrually.

i just added a RBTA in hopes of giving my pair of false percs a new home. They are tank raised and don't seem too interested in the RBTA. I have heard of a few tricks such as putting a clownfish seaweed clip near it to try to attract them to it, or attaching a reading lamp so it points right on the anemone for a few hours during the night when all other lights are out. Has anyone ever heard of this? Does it work?
