Clown won't present to Bubble Anemone

What type of clown is it? BTA's only host clarkes, maroon, and tomatoes naturally. There are many notable exceptions in aquariums though. I had a pair of occelaris in my field of bta's. They literally would just lay still in them and loved it. It's really luck of the draw though with the non natural symbionts. You could try putting the clown and the nem in a small plastic breeding box.

Good luck.

Bubbles and ocellaris don't usually go together. My clowns completely ignored it and opted for a haddons carpet.

tank bred clowns are also harder to get hosted, they lack the training. that being said, I have observed false percula being hosted by GBTA. it is mostly luck of the draw.

I dunno. My black and white ocellaris clowns went straight to the carpet nem I had in the tank for them. It took literally zero time for them to make it home.

Like said farm raised clowns usually host powerheads + you gotta read the list of pairing nems to clowns to match them up - that being said ppl have had success by isolating nems and clowns in small enclosures such as nets and hang on brine tanks
