    Depends on the clown. I have heard it taking as long as 6 months for a tank-bred clown to take to the anemone. I haven't seen mine take to mine either as I just got one. It's only been about a week and mine are tank-bred so who knows :-/

    I have had my clowns for like 2 years and my bta for I'm not sure and the clowns haven't given it a look let alone a second look. I wouldn't hold your breath just in case it doesn't take.

    You can't really make it attach to anything it doesn't want to. It will attach where its requirements are met and its happy. I can tell you they prefer their foot attach in a crevice or hole where it is protected and kind of hidden.
