"Training" clowns to host an anemones

[Frogfan183]

Anyone with suggestions on how to get my clowns and BTA to host each other? My BTA has attached itself facing the back of my tank (surprise, surprise), and my clowns are away in the opposite corner of the tank where I commonly feed. I've read in some articles that you can "train" them to learn how to host with an anemone...has anyone had any success or do you have any suggestions?

From what I have heard and read you can print out a pic of a clownfish hosting a nem and tape it to the tank. I tried it for 2 weeks and my clowns didn't do anything. Some will. Some won't.

Clownfish born into captivity don't know what an anemone is. It may scare them or they may just not know what it is. The best thing you can do is give it time and things will happen naturally. My black and white ocellaris clown has been with my lta for about 2 months now and still hasn't hosted it.
