clown fish + bta

how long does it usually take for the percula clown to host the BTA. i had mine in there for a few hours n he's noit even going close to it.

It's hard to tell. My clown took just about 8 months to host.... then out of the blue he found my LTA.

I was wondering the same thing. My perc has been in with a bubble tip for 3 weeks now and hasn't gone near it. Good to know there's still hope!

ha ha ha i put mine in yesterday before i went to work at 3pm and when i got home last night he was already hosting it.

its a maroon clown/green bta. sorry i had to brag. try taping a picture of a clown in an anemone to the glass maybe he'll get the hint!

he still wont go near it, i saw him look at it a few times, just kinda swim in front of it then go on his merry way... he seems to have become buddys with my cleaner shrimp, i actually saw the cleaner shrimp riding on his back the one nite, lol. he usually stays near the cleaner shrimp all night in the top corner of my tank near the PH.
is that normal?

If he doesn't feel he needs the protection he may not care about it.
