ok i have had 2 true clownfish for 2 weeks and a bta 1 1/2 weeks and i was wondering when they will go into my bta. or if there is anything i can help them go into it.
thx
 
Some never do host.. but some have had luck with taping a picture of a clown to the glass next to the anemone.
 
Sometimes they will only host if they feel threatened; another fish starts picking on them. And then the female sometimes won't let the male share it with her.
 
I may have stumbled into a way to get this to work... My black percs had been hanging around my red shrooms before I got my RBTA... They never even looked at it for nearly two weeks. So I took some of that concentrated garlic (one eye-dropper full) to "raise their hunger levels" and got it into the water.

I then soaked a chunk of freeze dried brine shrimp in the tank, letting them know it was there... Then I simply stuck the shrimp into the BTA.

My chromis looked at it and simply gave me the fin... The percs on the other hand... they dove right in and you could almost read it on their little faces... AN ANEMONE!!!!! COOOL!!!!!!!! they've yet to bring it food, but sleep in it every night and play in it during the day... They're very protective of it and even chase the chromis away if they come too near...

I think it works. I have one of those clown fish seaweed clips. When I added my pair of clowns, the clip was up near the top of the tank. First the little male tried to attack it. Once he figured out it wasn't gonna fight back, he made friends with it and they both hung out the first two days right next to it. I then lowered it down to where the GBTA was. I had it on a peice of fishing line hanging in the water, so it looks like it is swimming. Worked like a charm!
 
so when i feed them put a peice of food next to my bta and they will go get it. and it will be near it so they will go into it
