I've had my ocellaris for about a year, had my rbta maybe a couple of months. So far the clown hasn't even seemed to give the anemone a second glance. He hasn't gone back to his frogspawn he used to hang in either. At night he wedges himself between a couple of candy cane heads, much to the annoyance of the candy canes. I wish he'd go hang with the rbta.

I couldn't get my false percula to take any notice of my RBTA for at least a couple of months - he seemed to have established the opposite side of the tank as his territory so he would never get over there to even see the RBTA. Then I got several green chromis and added them to the tank and within 48 hours he moved to the other side of the tank, found the RBTA and I haven't been able to get him out since. Perhaps if you move the RBTA over nearer your clown he will take an interest.

My false percs went over a year and never cared to host. They'd wiggle around the top of my seios some but mostly just wiggled up and down on the back wall. When I got a gsm clown it was completely different. He'll host anything.
