I think my Cinn and Anemone are going to host! The clown keeps rubbing the anemomes tenticles..... I noticed it yesterday. I can in from wally world and look at my tank and saw that the fish was hovering over the anemone. Everyonnce in awhile he would slowly float downward and rub agaist the tenticles. They is staying very close to each other. Is it possible for them to host? My anemone is a condy.... I have heard that it is not likely... But it looks to me like it might happen.

Yep i think its going to happen! i had some experiance recently with my bosses percula clowns and a BTA, every day he was rubbing against it a little more and then the third day he was in. Now both clowns never leave (except to eat) i have a few pics if your interested. I have read articles before where clowns have hosted condys

My advice do as little as possible to desturb either the anemone or the clown and you should be in luck!

Most clowns don't know what they are supposed to host as they are captive bred or raised. They host all sorts of things. So there is no reason why a Condy wouldn't work. The problem comes soemtimes when people get anemones hoping the clowns will host and they don't as they fall in love with a piece of coral or a flower pot or powerhead. Crazy little guys.

mine really likes the weird peice of live rock, it is like a tree branching out, he swims around that all day, and he also used to like the surface skimmer, and sleap next to that, but after 3 days, he left for the rock.
