i have three clowns.....one is white and black with yellow fins and the other two are just regular false perkiis.....i have two anmones and that i was hoping they can share between them three but it turns out that my two perkiis are not hosting any of them.....my white and black one hosts both of them and does not let them go on any of them....once and a while they sleep on one but then the white and black one will again kick them out....what can i do to make him let my other two host one of the anemones....i was told at my LFS that i should get one more perkii so that they can out number the white and black one but that sounds ridiculous or should i buy another one???

Yep, that sounds ridiculous to me too. What you have is a saddleback clown, and they do tend to hog the anemones. As long as they are not attacking or nipping at each others fins just let them sort it out. If they get aggressive you will have to remove one species. I would recommend getting rid of the saddleback and keeping the false perc pair. I edited this post after noticing that you said your black and whites had yellow fins. Sadlebacks are not as mean as black and whites. My black and whites beat the crap out of my true perc and even knock snails off the rockwork when they get too close to their anemone. I have never seen a saddleback be this aggressive. But they don't play well with others, that's for sure.
