Clownfish trouble

[reefperson]

I have 2 tank raised percula clowns and I know that they won't go in an anemone any other clowns that will get along with them

So what, exactly, is your question? Why won't they go into an anemone?
Clownfish will host anything. They'll even find a spot inside a rock... or even a feather duster.
My clowns immediately took to an anemone once i introduced it to the tank. (my last tank).... in my new tank, my clowns just sleep on the sand, out in the open.

They are tank raised so I want to get a wild species that is friendly

Why do you think they will not adopt an Anemone?
To answer your question; having more than one pair of Clownfish will typically only work in large aquariums. A. percula are the most timid species in my experience.

Tank raised perculas will host anemone, it just takes a while for them to realize that they can host them.

I got 2 clowns and an anemone and while I was acclimating them the clowns were in the anemone. After I put them all in the tank they wont go near the anemone anymore. Will they eventually go back to it or did I mess it up?
