I hate clowns

Jekyl · May 24, 2021

So in my never ending adventure in trying to get my multiple anemone to host my 2 clowns I've hit a bit of hope. For the last 2 weeks I've had a video of clowns being hosted on loop for my fish. Seeming like it was going no where but figured, why not? Now today my female has expressed an interest finally. She brushes up against the tentacles now. Even caught her sucking on one a few times. Still refuses to go all in though.....

This is why I’m undecided if I’m going to even house nems beyond RFAs. I have black ice occ clowns so that natural instinct is probably less than a hunch for them at best

if you do try it let me know how it goes. If I could get my clowns to settle with a nem (or knew a decent way to make it happen) I’d be all about having a black widow nem.

Took me three years to get these two to get in an anemone...at one point I had over a dozen Anemones in my tank... Literally walked into the house and they were doing it haha.

I tried that when I introduced the second one. Catching either one now would be an adventure.

I too hate clowns, but my problem is that my clown wont leave her ‘nem… no no no, you don’t get it - SHE WONT LEAVE HER ‘NEM… not even to eat. I feel your pain bud, good luck!
