Bubble tip anemone and a Clownfish

[caseykell21]

I bought a bubble tip the other day and my clownfish have yet to play in it, is this natural until they get used to it or is there something wrong? They look at it constantly and swim near it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Casey Kell

What type of clown? I've heard it can take weeks, and the clown may never host in it.

i think bubble tips are hosted by maroon clowns in the wild???

 

[Sregnar35]

Captive raised fish are less likely to host as well.

Chances are they may never host.

His tank mates were in it at the aquarium

i saw his little buddies swimming in it at the LFS. 2 Perculas

So I can assume you have a single true percula clownfish? She may never host, and the only way to know is to wait it out. She would be more likely to host if she had a mate I believe.

2 perculas

i have a pair of perculas.

Sorry, when you said you you saw his little buddies and then said 2 perculas I assumed you had one. Well the chances for hosting are there, but you will need to be patient I guess. Some take months to host, some right away. Hope you luck out!
