I've had my pair of clowns for 6 months now, and the original BTA (on the left) for 4 months. All of my animals are aquacultured as far as I know. How long did it take your clowns to figure out what an anemone was?

Ha, how long have you had them? My female started by nipping at them and swimming away, sometimes it looked painful

Probably a year now! But I just got an anemone a few months ago

User Avatar @carpetsurfer 19d

Oh dang! I'm not sure if I had any effect on it, but I usually dropped the food with my dropper right on and around the nem to entice them

Ok will definitely be trying that thank you!

It took mine around a month, the night I goggled how long it would take they started hosting the anemone

That's crazy! Very lucky, what kind of clown/nem?

User Avatar @SouthernReefer 13d

Regular clown and a rainbow bubble tip, currently my clowns are “fighting” for who is going to be male and female.

Right on, hopefully no casualties result 🤞

I think they have a victor, I added a sun coral yesterday, excited to see it open at night

I had clowns but when one became bigger it started to go into my RBTA’s but then became very aggressive towards the other clown and killed it.

Oh no! I've heard about this sort of thing, sorry to hear that. My male hasn't figured it out yet, but so far she hasn't bullied him more than usual lol
