i have a percula clown fish and a bubble anemone....the clown fish isn't interested...how can i get him interested???

just give him time, it takes awhile

I think the best advice would be to be patient, it takes a while sometimes

There is nothing you can do. He either will or will not go to it. Perculas will even sometimes pick something else to host in. Anything from a hairy mushroom to a powerhead. Just give it some time. I've had my false percs for about 3 months and they haven't hosted any of the cool stuff I've got. The only 2 types of clowns that I've always seen take to a host is tomato and maroon.

Broncofish tapes pictures of clowns hosting in anemones on the outside of his tank .... what a silly little brother!!
Also - no garauntee that they will even host in the anemone - are they tank raised??
