It seems very irresponsible to introduce clownfish to your tank knowing that you have a predator in there that will make a snack out of them. It doesn't matter what you do to try and get the clowns...

Those frags are on your sad bed. Place them high in your tank, on a frag rack or on top of a pwerhead. Your camera may be able to focus better that way.
