My clownfish aren't quite right

[Mbodell]

I just added a bubble tip anemone to the tank and the same day my clownfish decided to start hosting... on my zoas. Previously they didn't care to be in anything. Are they practicing? Excited? Dumb? Is it a possibility that they will eventually try get used to the anemone or do they pick for good once they are comfortable?

There is, of course, no telling! It is very likely though that now that they have the inspiration to host that they will gravitate towards their natural host. But only time will tell. Good luck. I guess if they decide they prefer the zoas you can remove the bubble tip and save yourself the hassle to remove three of them later!

I know there isn't any way to tell. It is just wierd that the day I put an anemone in their thank they started hosting something. If they do stick with the zoas it probably would be easier not having the bubble tip in there.

I taped a picture of a clownfish w/ an anemone to my tank and it worked. Cant say if you will have the same luck I had but good luck.

I wish my anemone would split I had it for years.

I've suggested that to others as well. It is reported to work! Who am I to argue with a clown!
