all fish are different. some go right for it, some it takes some time, and some not at all. you'll just have to wait it out. is it a true perc or false perc? you have a better chance of it hosting if its a true perc. i have a false perc and that idiot hosts my xenia and ricordea mushrooms. but like i said, only time will tell.
if its suggestions your after, you could try printing a picture of a clown in an anemone and taping it to the side of the tank. maybe it will give your guy some ideas.

yeah. well, i think. well he usually sticks to the corners of the tank, so im not really sure if he has looked at it yet.

he may never host it,,, mine host the power heads...sometimes patches of hair algae(which they seem to prefer but irritates me)....sometimes the corners of the tank they stay near....

Ive noticed that it take some tank raised clowns longer to host than wild caught, mainly percs from my experience.

Our true perc hosts our magnetic tank cleaner. We have to keep it in the same spot or the perc freaks, it is too funny!

We've had our anoneme for 3 weeks now and our clown act like its not even ther, they have been stung by it because I can see the marks on them but they have no desire to be in it...lol
