help with hosting my clown

[irishconor]

I just bought a carpet anemone yesterday. it seams to be very healthy.
But my clown won't go near it.
How do I entice him to host with it??
I have heard that you can get a picture of a clown thats in an anemone
and stick it to the tank...and he gets the hint! Is this true? or is there a better way?

Do exactly that!
It's worked for me, and I'm sure other people have had luck with this picture method.

Thanks viper, trying it. Hope it works. How long did yours take to host?

It sure seems to be true. Here just read this thread and judge for yourself. In the mean time give the anemone time and your clowns as well. It won't happen over night, time and patients.
