Carpet Anemone?

[Purpletang92]

How can you get your clownfish to host your carpet ? Mine currently host my torch corals ?

I can’t get mine to host anything

For the record, the anemone is the host, not the clownfish. But sometimes it just takes time, with carpet anemones they may never even try going in it. I've had some clowns take months to go in a bubble tip, so just give it time and see. Other than that there isn't a lot we can do to "make" them go in a nem.

I've had the same thing. There was a period of about 6 months where my pair of clowns in my 150 ignored 3 E. quadricolor and only hung out in my Euphyllia instead. It can be annoying. But one day they just switched back.

What kind of clowns? Find a natural symbiant and it will happen naturally.

Onyx Picasso , not sure but I think they are man made...

You have a S. Haddoni--Clarkii, Akindynos, Sebae, Saddlebacks, Chrysopterus, and Chrysogaster clowns are the natural symbiants.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I had a 120g with a big old Giant Blue Carpet Anemone and the only clowns I had that would go near it were a mated pair of mean old maroons. Other clowns I had would not, but would happily live with a BTA or LTA.

BTW, yours is beautiful OP.
