clown fish & plate coral obsession

we have moved our sebae crispa anenome from a mid way up the tank down to the sand, where we have been advised it should be. in its place we have put a stunning plate coral. the problem is that the clown fish cant seem to re-locate the crispa now and wont stop trying to bed in with the coral, even though they know something isn't right about it. how can we get them to find the crispa?
thanks

You can't. They will either find it one their own, take permanently to the plate coral, or the anemone will move to a prefered area and the clownfish might notice it then.

Short of being very persuasive, you'll have to see how it turns out.

The plate should be on the bottom in the first place. They can "walk" and will fall off the rockwork and end up getting hurt.
