So I picked up two tank raised clowns shortly after the cycle finished in this tank. They've been together since day 1. I picked up a rbta a few months later at RAP but they don't seem to even notice it.

I'm sure we've all heard of the picture on the glass method to which some say works! I am trying this method but instead of magazine cutouts, I am doing it with a looping video.

I will update soon as I notice behavioral changes in the clowns. They're currently on the opposite side of the tank not looking at the clown movie.

This is the video I decided to use:
Playing the video for the clowns:

I used a flipper placed horizontal on the glass and propped the iPad on top. I tried to find a clown in the video roughly the same size as the two clowns I have... hope it will be less intimidating for them.

Anyone else have experience with something similar?

I tried this but failed and then I brought a pair of clowns that an anemone was hosting from lfs they cost the same price so why not! Now I've just bought a platinum clown (single) currently in copper and it's hosting a artificial anemone!
 
i can only hope for the day i have my clown host something other than my powerhead. :( haha
 
small update:

i moved the ipad to the other side by the powerhead. they sit around the powerhead and overflow box majority of the time.
