Default clown check out anemone

My false perc was checking out the GBTA i bought for her and her mate.
Is this a sign it may take to it soon or am I just wishful thinking?

the clowns will do this, but in my opinion, if they do not take to it within three day's, then you may want to try another kind of anenome

Default clown fish compatibility

Ah yes, patience, patience, patience.
I would be very slow to add any other clownfish. I have two clarki in a 65 gal. tank, but they are very aggressive. I would fear putting any other anemone fish in the tank, as they would be very aggressive toward any anemonefish or similar species. I heard that tomato clowns and maroon clowns are also very aggressive. :mad:

Of the very peaceful type, they recommend introducing them all simultaneously, or change the furniture around so they all start out looking for their territory at the same time. When I bought the clarki, they were housed at the pet store with their anemone and so were already attached to it. The adaptation was easier. I put them in a 29 gal with a screen divider so they had a small corner of the world with their anemone and not overwhelmed by the whole tank territory to explore.

But that was history, since moving the clarki's and anemone to a larger tank, instead of feeding their "friend", they steal food from their anemone that I now must target feed. :mad:

Is your anemone(GBTA) very large? They probably would enjoy a larger anemone.
Good-luck
