Non hosting clowns

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get a clown to host. I have a Perc and a Maroon. Neither of them will host in any of the Anemones in my tank. The Perc hangs out under my Leather but the Maroon just stays by the heater. Both have them have been in the tank for over a year. I have 2 Condy's, a Seabe, and a Long Tenticle. Is it possible that they just won't host?
thx

Many anemone's don't host clowns. Its been suggested and proven here by some that taping a picture of a clown fish in its anemone on the tank works. Strange, but people here have actually tried it and it seems to work on most. :)

Let me get this straight. If i find a picture of a clown hosting an Anemone and tape it the outside of the tank so the clown fish inside can see it, he might attempt to host one on the anemones inside the tank? Sounds funny but maybe I'll give it a try.
Thanks

:eek: Wow, how is that working out? Normally I would say that is a recipe for disaster.
Long ago I even tried the Maroon and Perc, but the maroon just killed the perc. Did you add them at the same time? I didn't and that was my problem, plus the maroon was huge compared to the little perc that I added later.
Should be plenty of pics in this forum that you can use, and I think it was Bang Guy who sucessfully used the pic thing.
Now.....If I could just get a pic of Beth or Ilovethesea.......:thinking:
