Will anemones eventually switch clowns?

[RiffRaff]

My anemone hosted a maroon clown then split. Then both anemones hosted the same clown. But Ive since moved the clown because of aggression issues. Will the anemones ever host another clown or are they more of the one clown type of girl?

They will host again. It's more up to the clown than the nem on whether it'll work out or not.

Depends on the variety of the anemone and I didn't see what kind of anemone you had when I was over today, but I know my black oscellaris clown fish loves my rose tip anemone. I found one on craigslist for only $40 that might still be for sale(regular retail is around $100).

did you get your new clowns?

Ya. I got a pair of black ones at gateway during their sale

I have raised/sold many RBTA's over the past 5 years to local reefers. The clowns have no choice but to switch when I remove one of the RBTA's. My male clown remains in the same RBTA, but my female will jump back and forth between 2 or 3 of them.

I am sure that those who purchased the ones I sold had no issues getting their RBTA's to host their clowns.

Thanks, Steve

They seem to have taken to one of the holes in arock as of now. But once they start getting bigger try aren't going to fit. I guess I could put a shell inthe hole or something but I'm not that worried about it. Especially since I just picked up a Midas blenny that will go inthat tank after a qt period.
