I just got some new xenias from the guy getting rid of everything in his tank and also bought another maroon clown.  Everything was going great, both of my maroon clowns are getting along, but today the new clown is hosting the xenias from his old tank.  The guy said sometimes he would go in them once in awhile, but he has been in them since I got home 2 hours ago.  They are all closed up which I don't blame them, but does anyone know a way that I can try to entice the clown to chance hosts.  I currently have a condy anemone that I want to get rid of (in the buy-sell-trade section) and get a bubble tip.  Is it likely that with a bubble tip it will change hosts or could I block the xenia off somehow.  I don't have another tank to switch anything to.  Any suggestions would be great!

I would say don't worry about it.  You'll probably soon discover that having the clown keep the xenia from being so 'active' is actually a good thing (unless it truly begins to die off...).  The clown might host in a bubble tip anemone, but it all depends on the fish in reality, my A. Ocellaris host in a frogspawn coral, rather than an anemone, and one is even a wild caught (according to the store I bought it at a while back), so go figure.  
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

My Perculas host in my Pom Pom Xenia and neither the clowns nor the xenia have any negative reaction at all.
