Default clown fish hosting

i have 2 false perc. tank bred clowns, i want them to host either my anemone, my hammer coral or either of my 2 frog spawn, what would be the best way, i heard some ppl put up pictures of clowns hosting on the side of the tank and that works, but my black saddleback clowns host an anemone....so what should i do?

some clowns wont host anything, esp. tank bred. got the same problem with my false percs. they got alot of choices in my tank, but still nothing. clowns actully will host almost anything, befor i moved into the 60 gal they were in a 44 and they hosted hair agae, over my frogspawn?!?!

if you figure out a trick let me know!

I'm gonna try the picture trick mentioned above. It has been posted that it has worked well for others. If you try it let me know... it is a shot in the dark sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but it's worth a try. I love my frogspawn and would love to see it host my clowns!

I left mine in the tank for around 6 months and they just randomly decided to move over to the anenome and run the shrimp out of his home one day
