Getting clown pair to move hosts?

[kyleinpdx]

For the last year and a half my pair of ocellaris clowns have been hosted by my large pink goniopora, more recently they have begun to irritate the goni and I decided to try and get them to move on. About a week and a half ago I added a large RBTA, its currently about 8-10inches from the goni and in full view of the clowns but they havent so much as investigated the BTA. Anything I can do to help them migrate? Thinking of drilling some holes in a tupperware container and placing it over the goniopora until they get the message. Any other suggestions?

How about using food to lure them to the RBTA. Do you have a feeding squirt tube? Something like this: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/julian-s-thing-multi-use-tool-two-little-fishies.html

yeah when I feed frozen in the evenings I use a pipette they'll gladly chase it all over the tank and then go right back home...

Put the Tupperware container over it or stick it in the sump for a day.

I don't know how large it is or what it is attached to, but maybe you could place the goni next to the rbta and see if the clowns will follow, then move the goni back to where it was?
