Greetings!

So, I've had a clown fish for a little while now, and he seems to have taken to a flowerpot coral much to my frustration (the coral only opens 1/2 or less than normal)

So, my solution was to purchase a long tent. anenome from the LFS (THANKS AQUATIC DREAMS!)

Problem... the clown doesn't want to leave the flowerpot regardless of where I reposition it... at the moment the flowerpot is sitting in the sump overnight...

any suggestions on how to entice the clown to pick the anenome over the coral would be appreciated!

Jeremy

Take a net and capture the clown over the anemone for at least two hours and it should host exclusively over the anemone.

sell the clown and buy a new one, or trade it out to someone for another clown.
pitiful guppy tank.

I had a percula for about 2 months before I got my green BTA.  The clown hosted in a big Frog Spawn whilst I was trying to find a cheap anemone.  After I finally got the anemone, it took about 3 weeks before the clown started hosting in it, and I tried all kinds of coaxing as well, but he was on his own timeline.  Give him a little time, and I think he might figure it out.
