We have a skunk clown and we just put in an anemone for her....she is looking at it and seems curious, but no friendship. How long until she will accept it?

Most tank raised percs will never host in an anemone. Don't know why either.
As for the skunk, give it time. Perhaps a few weeks.

I had two tank bred ocellaris clowns that I bought an anemone for and at first it didn't look like they were having it. But after a week or so They started lovin' all over that thing. Oh yeah a week after this happened the glass heater I had in the tank broke and killed everything. But you should be fine just watch those glass heaters!!!!

This is how I got my pair of black/white ocellarius to host. I purchased an rbta hoping they would attomatically jump in there and start hosting but nope, it didn't happen. Five months later, I tried the picture trick. I taped a pic of a maroon (couldn't find a black occelarius pic) clown hosting in a rbta up against the glass on the side of the tank that the clowns liked most and still no hosting (my female would just have a stare off with the much larger maroon clown). One night about 2 weeks later I started to get upset since I paid a decent amount of money on the rbta just to have my clowns not host in it, that I tore the pic off and threw it away. The next morning the much smaller male was hosting
. About a week or 2 later the female joined in
.
I don't think it'll work for everyone but it worked for me.

Tried that, still didn't work. I think they were laughing at me on that one!
