My clowns are tank raised...so far they haven't touched the BTA. I'm hoping that they will, but not so sure.

Even tank raised? I've read that it is a learned behavior so tank raised clowns don't host as easily. Is there anyway to encourage it?

Thanks for posting the specs...all seem fine and nothing there to indicate a specific problem that I see.....
Hopefully the anemone will attach somewhere soon and live a long life.
Sorry I cant be more help...
A healthy anemone does not need a clown hosting in it to be happy.
I have heard/read that a picture of a hosting clown/anemone placed near the anemone might attract the clowns to it and also that shineing a light on the anemone at night might attract them there also....
I wish you luck with it....
