You can never guarantee that a clown will accept an anemone as a host. Some do, some don't..... others will accept certain corals as hosts instead. Keep in mind, clowns don't need a host to be happy and thrive.

typical! give a fish a new home and it ignores it. thanks. at what age may they start spawning dont know how old they are but they are about an inch and a half long.they were tank bred

Can you be more specific on the type of anemone you have? If it is a condi then I'm not suprised at all. This would mean that you have chosen an atlantic anemoene for a pacific clown, the clownfish has no idea what type of anemoen you've stuck in there. The atlantic anemones are not natural hosts for clownfish but it has been known to happen.
