I added the Clownfish a month ago, I added the bubble tip two weeks ago, it just took some time I guess...

My 2 GS Maroons hosted immediately. I think they host faster than most clowns. I bought my pair when they could fit in a MJ bracket!! After less than a month I added and LTA and they found the new home within minutes

I've got one that hosts in a condy. I had the condy first, and hte maroon hosted in it the day that I got him. He loves the thing, but it's getting way to big for my tank.

I added a RBTA a few weeks ago. Very nice anem, and my plan is to remove the condy as soon as it goes back onto the glass. The RBTA is smaller than the condy. the maroon doesn't host in the RBTA, but a couple of times a day he'll scoot over and stare at it.

SimilanRocks,
My clown would never host with my sebae until I had to move my tank. When I moved the tank I put the clown & sebae in the same container & now he never strays far.

I bought my Ocellaris and False rose anemone at the same time (from 2 different tanks at the store) I was worried they wouldn't like each other. The store bagged the fish with the anemone and the clown was in the anemone the whole trip home. I don't know if that helped but it made me feel better about the purchase.
