rbta and clown

[jiggly75]

my father in law just bought himself a rbta. he has 2 baby true tank raised percs. will they take to it eventually? they have not even made an attempt to go to it yet. but his yellow tang has decided that the area w/rbta is going to be his territory. he wont leave the anemone (even when the anemone went on the move) he decided that where ever it is, is where hes gonna stay. well the tang doesnt go in it, but do you think he will prevent the clowns from making an attempt at making it there home?? any advice or personal experience on this is very welcome. thanks

I'm sorry I haven't memorized the natural hosts for clowns but if you read this article it'll help you out.

Entacmaea quadricolor is not a natural host for either Amphiprion percula or A. ocellaris. However, in captivity, A. ocellaris will usually accept it while A. percula will usually reject it.

Both clowns have been checking out the anemone. They don't seem to know what it is. They are tank raised clowns. Would that make a difference?
