Well, I'm moving my set-up to a larger tank. My clownfish will be moving into a nice and big 65g aquarium. I have had the clowns for a while, I was wondering if they would host a Bubble Tip Anemone, the clowns are tank raised perculas. But I was thinking if their surroundings were changed maybe it might get them to host it. Any ideas? Help is appreciated:)

There is certainly no reason why not...As with any clown fish, there is never a certainty that a clown with host ANYTHING. Its what we all would love to see, but sometimes, it just does not happen....

If the clown/s do not go near it, keep trying to tempt the clowns to the nem with food, it has worked well for others.....

One way I heard of is putting it in a small in-tank breeder. Err the clown and the anemone. It will kind of force them together because of the small space. You could also put your hand in there and scare the clown into the nem.
