experience getting clowns to host??

[James5214]

So I don't want to get a anemone because I only have a 20L and already have a branching hammer and a torch and a few zoas and pipe organ. So I don't want him to move around and sting everything and kill them. So I have seen clowns host anything from Duncans to Xenia but I want to try and get them to host my torch it's a cheap one so I don't bother if he gets a little upset at first. Does anyone have experience with getting clowns to host anything and what I can do to maybe get them to do so? Any tricks? Thanks guys

People have had success playing videos of clowns hosting on loop to convince the clowns to host.
For me it just happened naturally. It’s instinct for them, eventually they should figure it out.

Took me over 2 years, hundreds in anemone, and every trick I could find on the internet done with persistence... for all the trouble they bite me any time my hands are in the tank. If it happens, it happens. I wouldn't suggest going on the same road I did. Especially with things that aren't a natural host for them.

Yea I have seen the video people are talking about. And I'm not going to add the anemone maybe if I would of added that first and let it find it's forever home but now it would probably destroy all my coral

Clowns don’t host. Anemones host.
