What type of lighting do you have?
What type of clowns do you have?
Not all clowns will host but you can increase your chances with an anemone they host in the wild.

I believe there was also mention of aquacultured vs. wild regarding how likely they are to host.

If you have no lights, your anemone is going to die.

how many watts?, what size tank?, if your lights and tank size are good to go, give your clowns a month or two and they'll start liking your anemone

gah, i'm still waiting after 4 months.
by the way, 150 gallon might be big enough, but you may run into issues with your clowns. they can be very territorial, especially if they host an anenome, and will pick on each other until there are only 2 left.

rosie... how many watts???, and regonaw has a point, unless you have more than one anemone, if you get 2-4 the clowns will stay in their anemones and won't care about the other clowns

 

[renogaw]

if i had to guess i'd bet they are dual actinic/10k lights (four bulbs?) each with 65+ watts per bulb (probably more due to how long the tank is). unless, of course, they are t5's which seem to be the way corallife is going.
