Clown/Anemone problem.......

[kjd_0214]

I had just purchased a frogspawn and a green carpet anemone for my new tank. I had two clowns in another tank with a rose anemone that had died before i moved the clowns over to the new tank. Right now the Clowns will not go into the green carpet anemone and they want to go into the frogspawn which i think might eventually kill it. Is their anything that I can do to get the clowns to go into the anemone?

What type of clowns are we talking about?

They are tank raised Percula Clowns. They were taking host to my Rose anemone, Which I didnt think would happen.

Well you never know, the carpet is supposed to be the prefered anemone for perculas, however sometimes they just don't want to host in it. Give it time, sometimes it just doens't happen overnight.

well tank rasied clowns dont know what to do with it because they are tank rasied. When they are tank rasied that means they have never bin in the wiled so they have never seen an anenome befor.
Hope that helps and if you have another question just holler.
