WOW!! That was interesting!!!!!!

[Steph1]

I have been trying to introduce my clowns to an anenome with no luck at all. I thought I would get youtube on my phone of a clown hosting an anenome make it full screen anf place my phone screen against the glass..................................OMG WHAT A REACTION!!!!!!!!! it immediately went pshyco and moved in a way I have never seen it before. It started hosting everything! My Torch, my hammer just about everything. I am guessing that it was panicked or something and its primal brain needed safety/protection of a coral. I stopped after about 12 seconds to have a think about if I can use this as a tool to acheive my goal. I need to have a think now

 

[Steph1]

Am thinking of taking all my large polyp corals out of the tank but leaving the anenome in the tank perhaps it will go to the anenome?

Clowns will try and bond with anything in the tank. I have one that loves anemones and the other loves power heads.
before these two, I had a male that lovedGSP and the female only wanted the mushroom... there were 10 anemones in that tank.. lol

My clowns always seem to have a roving eye and host with whoever has the best offer that night. Sometimes with the goni, sometimes with the nem,

I was thinking of doing what you are suggesting but I decided to leave well enough alone.

I like your experiment. Good hypothesis.

I am aware of how clowns act have had them for a while.......but the reacion was VERY strong to the movie

I think you should start showing them clown videos and they'll start doing tricks!

Did you ever see a clownfish ride a bike under water?

 

[Sleeping Giant]

Awesome

 

[Steph1]

You want proof?

 

[Steph1]

I will post a vid on youtube now

 

[Steph1]

I hour training after 2 days by showing the fish the video

 

[Steph1]

3 hours ago the fish would not go near the anenome and holder

 

[Dom]

I've never owned a clown that didn't host a Nem within a day or two of putting them together.

 

[40g Nano]

Ima have to try this

 

[Steph1]

Dom that is uncommon.......period, look at all the videos on youtube about trying to get an anenome to host clowns. Lots on the subject
Someone else try the experiment to replicate?

 

[40g Nano]

Ill do it
I want my clowns to host a coral, not my ball anemone

 

[40g Nano]

I dont want them to get eaten
