Anemone not hosting

BetiumInside · 05/13/2006, 05:45 PM

Anyone knows why is my sabae anemone is not hosting my false percula's?

Or is it backwards?

The anemone it's been on the tack for month and half and the preculas for 2 weeks.

Levels are ok, because the Anemone is doing GOOD.
She is brownie and bright purple tips.

False Perc's are notorious for not hosting in an anemone, especially if their tank raised.

Percs are slow at moving in very often.

My 2 clownfish did not go near my anemone for many months until one day as I was scrubbing algae off the tank, I spooked the fish enough they darted into the anemone to hide. Since then, they never leave the anemone more than a few inches or so and only during feeding time.

Fish are like people, they have a mind of their own. They might take their time or they might never go in it. I've had many different clowns and Anemones and they have ALWAYS eventually gone together. Give it time.
