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???

Mixing species usually doesn't work out well. Sounds like you have either a Clark's or a Saddleback but there are several other species that resemble "Black & White with yellow fins". Eventually the Ocellaris will be killed and fed to an Anemone.
The store that told you 3 Clownfish of mixed species would get along needs to be avoided. They obviously just want to sell you fish and didn't care if they survived. Definately avoid any store that can't even tell you the species of Clownfish they just sold you.
