When?

I currently bought a carpet anemone for my ocellaris clown. Its been three days now and he haven't host it. He does hover over it and sometimes look at it. So how long do you guys think it'll take?

Some Clowns won't host with a certain anemone (for no good reason).

The fact that your clown is hovering over the anemone is (IMO) an excellent sign and he should be hosting soon.

It is not recommended to "encourage" your clown in to the anemone. Your clown will host when it is ready.

Thanks. Today a piece of flake sticked to the anemone and the clown pick it out to eat. But he hasnt host it yet. Maybe he just needs more time. :)
