Clown not hosting ANYTHING! HELP?

[dustinmac6913]

:help: I have a 75gal tank with 4 different Anenomies (a Carpet, Seabae, Long Tenticle, and a Short Tenticle). I have 1 False-percula Clown and I can't get it to host any of them!!

I have an Anenome Crab in my Carpet and it is doing GREAT!

Can anyone help me??

Some clowns take a while to host anything, even if it is an anemone. Give him/her/it time

Do research mixing anemones. This can be a bad thing as they can chemically attack each other.

there is no guarantee that your clown will ever host....is it tank bred or wild?

Well that I don't know for sure, but I would probably bet on Tank Bred! But it is also still very young I guess too!

Sorry, I didnt' explain well.
Anemones can sense each other and can launch chemical attacks against each other. They may be fine now, but in an aquarium environment this can be dangerous to your inhabitants at some point.
