    Clownfish Finally Decides to Host in RBTA

    My female false Percula decided today was the day to finally host in my RBTA. They have been together in the same tank now for more than a year and she has never shown a desire to host the RBTA. She has been in the RBTA all afternoon. My question is why now, after all this time???
