Symbiotic relationships in a reef tank are interesting. One of the coolest relationships is that of the anemone and the clownfish. Unfortunately not all clownfish will host. Some need a specific anemone, some will host anything, and some clownfish wont host a thing. My two oscellaris clownfish have been exposed to a rose bubble tipped anemone for about 1 month now and have never hosted. I spray food into the anemone to entice them to host but they wont host. They will nip at the anemone for food. At night my clownfish sleep against the tank corner.
There have been a number of methods proposed for encouraging this behavior. They include:
Placing an anemone and clownfish together in a small tank.
Spraying clownfish food into the anemone.
Posting pictures of clownfish hosting corals/anemones against the aquarium.
What do you think works and what methods do you think wont work? Lets get a lil edumacated discussion going.
