Clownfish PAring to coral

[meeyatch]

I just got some mated golden stripe maroons and a flourescent green carpet anenome.

The clowns are paring with my hammer corals though.

Is there any way to 'coax' them into going to the anenome?

I think if you had a bta or long tenticle they wouldm't requre coaxing.

[meeyatch]

is it even possible .. guess not

no biggie

i heard also that clowns will often change homes sometimes too

the male seems to like the hammers a lot, but the female seems to want to do something else sometimes, then alsways ends back up where the male is at

[fish.freak]

the best way is to get what they use in the wild so they are programed to reconize it.

They also prefer really healthy specimens to host in so depending on how your anemone looks compared to your hammer, that may factor in as well.
