Some never host and some take right to it...you can't do a thing about it. It is all up to the fish, mine like the intake and output tubes of my canister filters. I had clowns hosted a coral to death, and I have had clowns that host nothing at all but the corner of the tank.

mine totally ignored my nem for months...then one morning I woke up to find them hosting it..so any day it could happen lol. Certain clowns like certain anemones I've read, so it could be that your clown and anemone dont match up perfectly...but either did mine and they hosted a sebae anemone
off topic but funny...we all wish our clowns were like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3vQKDtxlVY

It took about a week...but they are in! I stated to notice them starting to look at anemone and kinda stay by it the last saterday night came home and the black and white clown I got 6 months ago was in! Then within the next couple of days the other joined. Good thing the anemone is big!
