How to get clown fish into nem

[elaminator]

I have a hulk long tentacles nem in the tank for over 6 months. None of my clowns show any interest. Any suggestions ?

Different breeds of clownfish like different types of nems. Search your species for what type of them they like.

You can try and train them by getting them in a clear cylinder and forcing them ontop of the anemone. When my clowns were small I used the python water changing gravel cleaner tube.

I remember when I first got into the Hobby watching a video from Melvsreef where he used a clear tube and forced his clowns into the nem. Just a thought. My clowns host my Duncan colony.

Rainbows RBTS they’re very easy to host

Some clowns don’t host some nems. just like the other gentleman said

I agree with u.

Doesn’t hurt to try the tube thing, never worked for me. It took 14 years for my occellaris clown to host an anemone. Definitely odd that it all of sudden decided to do it one day, if I remember correctly it was around the time the anemone did its first natural split. Probably coincidence, ya jnk

When I first put RBTA into tank...clowns didn't go near it for 6 to 8 months. Now I can't get them out. TIME is what worked for me.

when I tried to get an anemone to host clowns I'd put the nem in an acclimation box with the clowns until they became friends
